What's their contact information? I'll be announcing to the FreeHDL effort
as well.

The license says "If you feel like it, give us credit. Distribute it, sell
it, do whatever you want with it." I guess I didn't mean "no license", I
meant a "no limitations at all license". It also has the standard "not
necessarily fit for any use" type stuff in it. Fair enough?

It's not best from our (the author's) perspective. We're releasing it with
no limitations for a wide variety of reasons. Don't worry - there is a
file stating this specifically, so there is a license - like I said, I
mistated that. And we do know that someone could come along and shrink
wrap our stuff and make millions, or copy all of our work and take credit
for it - we simply don't care. (And I'd like to see them try to make money
of it in particular ;-))
Anyways, perhaps we should take this to private email or debian-legal
(which I'm not subscribed to at the moment) if you'd like to continue this
discussion.
Later,
Dale
