Nitpick: The name of the Swiss entity appears to be “RISC-V International Association”, notably an association, not a foundation.

Only because Switzerland doesn't have the typical 'Foundation' structure as found in the US. For all intents, it's a nonprofit Foundation but since they're now domiciled in Switzerland they use the "Association" nomenclature.

From their registration:

> The purpose of the association is the promotion and development of free or open source hardware and software technologies and applications for use on computer systems with a focus on the development and implementation of a free and open RISC-V instruction set architecture (Instruction Set Architecture, ISA). The association pursues a non-profit and not a financial, self-serving or commercial purpose. For this purpose, the association can, among other things, promote and finance research and development initiatives and other activities and participate in other companies or cooperations that are geared towards the main purpose.

They used to be the "RISC-V Foundation", but changed name when they moved.
