Re: [ng-spice-devel] License issues
Paolo,

I agree, we can focus later,
maybe Sangiovanni will have some suggestion or question.
I think we should give the project details on which we are still discussing,
am I right?
To this end, I found an old picture related to the eda project I was working
on
few years ago, actually when I met Prof. Vincentelli at The State University
of Roma "Tor Vergata".
This block diagram represent the target structure for spice that I was
pursuing,
the spice tool was a portion of an analog - digital eda software involving
both
low level - device level and high level - behavioral level design tools.
I will attach it as a pdf file to the ideas summary I am still rewriting,
it could be useful to understand what I was describing within this list,
if someone want to look at it in advance, just let me know.
Paolo, if you think it could help, you can mention that other projects, like
mine if
Sangiovanni remember it, would share their result with ngspice and there are
discussions on the list concerning the possibility to merge the effort of some
people working on other eda project. I think that this convergence effort
could give to ngspice a sort of recognition.
Please Paolo ask if my previous suggestion to send an official letter
to the EECS department in the person of Richard Newton, Professor and
Chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences,
is a good idea or if there is a better suggestions.
Last but not list, I feel useful a license review concerning license types
considered
or involved with this project, pointing out differences and possible
conflicts.
I'm going bananas about the license problem perhaps because I'm not an expert,
anyway I'm sure that some pieces of the code I developed in my old project
around
Berkeley spice are not compatible with ngspice. I can recode them and this
could
be, technically speaking, a better solution for ngspice.
