Well, I think that its impact in the development is minimal, we can link
it as a dynamic library using the gray area of GPL or simply remove it
from the GPL simulator until Prof. Hu takes a decision.
Anyway BSIM3 is a device model for submicron mosfet process based. It is
probably the most used model in the industry, as level 49 in Hspice and
level 8 in spice3f5. Recently Berkeley has released a BSIM4 model and
three soi (Silicon on Insulator) models. I think that these devices will
follow the fate of bsim3 so they should be removed from the relase.
As I wrote, the possibility ot use GPL tools counts more that the lack of
bsim models. What do you think ?
