I can imagine that government agencies of various countries would be quite interested in a completely open, inspectable, patent-unencumbered, hardware design. Gives you a bit of certainty that your key infrastructure won't be remotely disrupted by a hidden silicon circuit.

India elected RISC-V as the new standard and they have multible projects around it.

Open ISA and open hardware should be a major security concern for most countries.
