Not that I haven't complained about RISC-V's seeming, now proven, lack of openness from the beginning, but did you ever find out why they restricted access to people with UC Berkeley associations?
it wasn't "deliberate", it's just pure academic arrogance. "we're better than everyone else, we have to filter out bullshit, we know and trust these people, we haven't time to "vet" other sources of knowledge and expertise, and if they don't sign *our* agreement then regardless of what Trademark Law actually says they can go f### themselves because we know better"
