What happened to opensparc's idea of an open cpu?

What happened to opensparc http://www.opensparc.net/? People worry about proprietary hardware, but here's a GPL 64bit cpu and there's no excitement?

As Oracle has control of Sun's assets, if Oracle wanted to release SPARC T3 as GPL, the Verilog would have already been released.

I've gone to their website and it's bitrotting. I can download archive files, but there's no cvs access. I want to see the information mirrored to keep the the cpu alive. Maybe store the cvs on github.
