Hi Joris, I actually emailed the IEEE-SA after the license change to the -2008 files to see if they would apply the same terms to the supplemental material from earlier standards, but apparently they have no plans to do so. Perhaps it would be worth asking again, or asking through the vhdl-200x mailing list? The VITAL packages, unlike the 1076.3 packages, are not available from the IEEE supplementary material website. Instead the source code of the packages is embedded directly in the 1076.4 standard text.
