I think that having a few models that are not GPL/LGPL is not a problem.
What must be done then is to write explicitely that such models are allowed
in our dev tree (in the same way as Torvalds allows non-GPL and even
proprietary modules in linux).
BSIM3 is a recent model and I'm not surprised that the UCB doesn't want
to GPL the code too quickly.
However, my question to mr Newton would be : how would the UCB react to
a (very) possible split in the develomment tree?
If I'm not mistaken, our 'task' would be to go through the code of
spice3f5 and make it 'open-source compatible' . When this is done,
what happens? Dos the UCB wish to proceed with developping spice?
