Note that in the original note there was only the mention of an Open
Source mode.  Open Source is a bigger collection of licenses than just
the GPL.

If the resulting license is like X11 (i.e., BSD without the
advertising clause), we can point out that the BSIM3 model can only be
used in a non-commercial or educational environment.  Perhaps someone
is inclined to code up a BSIM3 model from the ground up if the BSIM3
model is not forthcoming.
