Dear all,

We all know that one of the problem with Berkeley's spice is its license.
BSD license prevent use from using pieces of spice code into our
simulator, thus slowing down the entire development process. I think that 
having a GPL spice-like simulator (like ACS) is good. We had in mind to
write to Berkeley's CAD Group (Prof. Sangiovanni Vincentelli) a "formal"
letter asking him to change the license of spice3f5 to GPL. 

Anyone would write down a draft ?

Paolo
