The questions you might be asking are : - why complain when companies have opensourced their libraries ? (forget the opensource community, the later will _never_ give you such verification methodology before the next 20 years, because it costs millions of euros to develop it) - can these libraries(text files) be incorporated directly into the user's HDL design? You may have heard "open hardware" and opensource community are proud of it. If you look closer (opensparcT2 for example) at the code, this open hardware was designed under proprietary eda tools, same applies to opencores designs. I believe building an opensource design and simulation platform -FEL- (providing software), with inclusion of ovm and vmm, will encourage digital designers extend their "open" hardware desire to "design open hardware with open source software". This is a problem and a lack in the current opensource software and hardware communities. The only way to solve it is "someone has to step in first and take the lead". With our FEL we have already taken this leadership to promote open source _content_ and ovm is an open source _content_. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
