From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The processor is a JH7100 - from this statement it seems to be open, but I honestly don't know how to verify it.
The purpose is primarily to get a RISC-V device out there so that people can start hacking away - if you're more interested in using it than tinkering with it, it's probably better to wait a bit longer. :)
