  A tiny Open POWER ISA softcore written in VHDL 2008

Not true, as of 2019 the power ISA is able to be used without needing to pay any royalties to ibm under the openpower foundation. There's already a few projects that have taken advantage of it such as libreSOC and Microwatt. Source code for various firmware components are also freely available pertaining to the power platform.

  2 35 1.4 Verilog

  The A2O core was a follow-on to A2I, written in Verilog, and supported a lower thread count than A2I, but higher performance per thread, using out-of-order execution (register renaming, reservation stations, completion buffer) and a store queue. It is now being updated for compliancy and integration into open projects. (by OpenPOWERFoundation)
