> While being versatile and robust it also follows CERN OSHL, GNU-GPL, FOSS, EOMA, ISA and even CC guidelines

This is almost the most concerning part. They're treating FOSS like it's some kind of standard. It's not. FOSS just means software that is free and open source. Something is, or isn't FOSS. You don't follow some standard to deliver a FOSS product. I also couldn't find a single reference to CERN OSHL anywhere online other than on their website. The closest thing I could find was Out-of-school-hours learning... again, if that's what they meant this is doomed.

I think by "CERN OSHL" they mean the CERN Open Hardware License: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERN_Open_Hardware_License

There's no "Source" in the name.

the acronym salad seems to support it being vapourware, but I think CERN OSHL is a typo for a real thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERN_Open_Hardware_Licence
