Dear ng-spice-development-team,

I am currently managing the Spice3 release and would be pleased to work with
you to make the code compliant with Open Source (of course, you are by no
means the first to suggest this, as you can imagine!)

With the exception of the BSIM3 code, we are in agreement to move to an Open
Source mode, as supported by the UC Regents as you suggest. The main issue
has been the sheer manpower to actually carry through on the source
modifications and build the release directory for our machines!

If you and your team are willing to make the approriate modifications to the
3f5 sources (as we mutually agree upon) and help us set up the "master"
release on our FTP site, I am willing to work with you on this.

BSIM3 would be excluded for now, as the faculty member in charge (Professor
Chenming Hu) is still considering this issue and has not decided on the Open
Source model.

Please let me know directly if you are interested in proceeding,

Richard Newton
