Do you know Ray Barrett? He has a very valuable OSS project
underway to supply free integrated circuit generation tools to US
semiconductor foundries. Since it is open-source, the foundry tweeks
the software to match its processes, then makes it available for free
to the designers who wish to design ICs for fabrication there. (I
think I got that right; it was a noisy-environment conversation.) To
provide maintenance revenue, Ray and his partner would be available to
help designers with specific problems.
The web site for American Research & Development is www.arndfl.com.
I think Ray lives in Merrimack, so you might want to interview him. He
has a lot of market insight.
