Yes - sorry for not being more clear here - I tried to make a distinction between the pre-existing project and your own project, but I didn't express it very well. I think you did exactly the right thing creating an own project! I also think the way you went about it made for a bumpier road (if not for yourself then for others who were already working in the pre-existing project(s)) than was neccessary. > Where is the problem? There is no problem and ideally that remains the case. The only thing sortof being a problem is that I was left with a less than stellar impression of your interactions within other contexts. :\ > If someone got fed up enough with the current shortcomings of > gEDA/PCB to start their own competing project, I fully expect they > would be posting here, and plugging their alternative every time > someone complains about the lack of blind and buried vias in our > current PCB.

I'm not upset about anything really, but being legal is indeed an important topic for all open source and free software projects! I guess we don't have to worry about problems in this project. The scope is quite different and to end by coming back on topic I do want to stress that I think your work on using Verilog for netlists is important and useful! Well done and thanks a lot! Maybe you saw that a couple of gEDA folks will be at FOSDEM - is there any chance that you'll go too? //Peter
