If they change the terms of the RISC-V license to include sanctions blacklisting it would just encourage forking and guaranteeing failure of the restricted license in the long term.

I mean this is why RISC-V intl. moved to Switzerland, because no one wanted to adopt a US-controlled ISA that they'd arbitrarily cut access to if you didnt align to their geopolitics.

I don't know if the US has any power to restrict RISC-V in China, but if it does then RISC-V dies almost immediately after in terms of its potential to supplant ARM and X86
