'Going open source is "a big plan" that Wave CEO Derek Meyer, a MIPS veteran, has been quietly fostering since Wave acquired MIPS Technologies in June ...'
Some doubts about that “open source” bit <https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/12/18/open_source_mips/>: Swift declined to specify the license under which MIPS will be offered. But he characterized it as a "simple, non-royalty bearing license," one that doesn't include a requirement to make core designs available to the community. Given that and the registration requirement, the MIPS Open Initiative sounds more like source-available than open source.
