[Ngspice-devel] ADMS going closed source

[Richard C. <s02...@sm...>]

Dear ngspice devs,

I am a developer on the Qucs project (http://qucs.sourceforge.net/). It 
has come to our attention that the ADMS program used to generate code 
for Verilog-A models is being moved closed source as of version 3.0. At 
this time, the last version of ADMS that will be freely available will 
be 2.3.

Unfortunately, version 2.3 has a number of issues (fixed in version 3.0 
apparently), such as a failure to generate code for higher derivatives 
which causes problems, particularly with Harmonic Balance simulations. 
While we have some options open to us, since you also recommend ADMS for 
code generation, we were wondering if you were aware of this, and had 
any plans regarding ADMS or alternatives.

A copy of ADMS is maintained here: https://github.com/upverter/ADMS in 
case this is of interest.

Best regards,

Richard Crozier - Qucs team
