If others are curious what Shakti means, as I was, here's the Wikipedia summary
> Shakti is the concept or personification of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as “The Great Divine Mother” in Hinduism. As a mother, she is known as “Adi Shakti” or “Adi Parashakti”. On the earthly plane, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifest form.[3] Hindus believe that Shakti is both responsible for creation and the agent of all change. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, its most significant form being the Kundalini Shakti, a mysterious psychospiritual force.[4][5]
> In Shaktism, Shakti is worshipped as the Supreme Being. Shakti embodies the active feminine energy of Shiva and is synonymously identified with Tripura Sundari or Parvati.
Because RISC-V is an open ISA. POWER would have been made in India in terms of 'you patents are not valid here' and not have been usable outside of India.
RISC-V also is becoming the standard for research and the open-hardware community.
Now the Indians can share and collaborate with the open-hardware community.
Isn't it the case that RISC-V is only open for non-commercial use, and that for commercial products it still has licensing requirements attached to it?
