The Apache license is long and restrictive.
In particular, Section 4, subsections 2 and 4 both put completely unneeded restraints on the licensee.
It also is incompatible with older versions of the GPL.

Most RISCV projects use MIT.
Please consider choosing a more free license.

Thank you

If you want a patent license, please consider either (disjunctive) dual-license (AL2+MIT) or the COIL.

Sorry, we've made the decision to use the Apache License 2.0 for all of our open source projects and the decision is final.
