Because I couldn't find out if the processor was completely free from patents like the open cores project is. Is it?
There's nothing that tells you the same about OpenRISC. As a matter of fact, OR is closer to MIPS (which is a patent mine) than LM32 is. Anyway, I challenge the patent-ability of *HDL source code.
Further, if you choose OR for anything that needs the slightest bit of performance, then your project is headed for technical failure. (There has been recent efforts in this direction by some OR developers, but nothing conclusive yet)
