Re: [myhdl-list] Why MyHDL (New MyHDL Wiki)

First thank you for your excellent email two days ago, and even more so
for what you wrote this morning.

I think this is the central point from a marketing perspective.  And
once you believe this, then the advantage of MyHDL is clear.  Only MyHDL
gives you both structural and dynamic information in the same
computational model.  And the latter is clearly needed for verification. 

On my wiki, I will be using the same creative commons license as on your
wiki.  Once that is posted on my wiki, may I go ahead and quote from
your emails using that same license?
