What it means with MyHDL is the following. Suppose that you distribute a product that uses MyHDL, such as a high-level synthesis tool or the RTL code for an IP block. Then you have to open source any changes made to the myhdl library itself, under the same LGPL license. But with your own code, the code that imports the myhdl library, you can do what you want, including keeping it completely closed. -- Jan Decaluwe - Resources bvba - http://www.jandecaluwe.com Python as a HDL: http://www.myhdl.org VHDL development, the modern way: http://www.sigasi.com World-class digital design: http://www.easics.com |
