Proposal for a letter to Richard Newton
What do you think ?
Dear Prof. Newton,
We have read your mail about working together on spice3 sources and we
would ask you some details.
1) As you may have seen on our web site, we are aiming at the
development of a GPL covered circuit simulator based on spice3.
This means that, if UCB does not want to worn on spice3 anymore,
there will be a split in the development tree.
How would UCB react to a (very) possible split in the development
tree ?
2) This question is a consequence of the first. Does UCB wish to
proceed the developing of spice, after porting the sources to
an open model ?
3) We would like a clarification on 'make the code compliant with Open
Source'. What exactly is required? Adding a copyright header to
each file is easy to do. What source modification is are you
referring to ?
4) What about using the current ng-spice development tree ?
Regards,
.....
