That said, riscv.org probably doesn't emphasise the > libre nature of it, does it? permissive licenses being what they are.... no, true, it doesn't. libre is a very specific meaning, and the goal is to create a *libre* SoC. ha, bit of irony for you: gaisler research released the LEON3 SPARCv8 core a number of years ago under the GPLv2, so that people could use it for "academic and research purposes", the expectation being that for "commercial" use, they would seek a license from gaisler because you can't mix GPLv2 source with proprietary hard macro source. the irony / beauty is: by seeking out *specifically* hard macros even for DDR3 that are compatible with the GPL, no proprietary license is needed :) so... the source code which implements SMP cache coherency for a multi-core LEON3... i can pull that out and use it :) l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk
