I guess if/when you got to that point, you could include tools in the negotiation. For such negotiations to happen implies that you got your FPGA design to a place where it's worth the trouble. You've thus already invented some of your own stuff, and cross-IP licensing would almost certainly be on the table. -- Andy Valencia Home page: http://www.vsta.org/andy/ To contact me: http://www.vsta.org/contact/andy.html
