We are offering microelectronics designs as well, and we wouldlike to use your software as a commercial product. As we see your software is under the GNU GPL license. This license does not speak about the conditions under which we could use the software in commercial designs. We have some questions regarding the licensing fees: 1) Could we use the software package for commercial designs as well? 2) What price conditions are available for the commercial use? As of revision 3.2 Alliance be no more GPLed. (The source code is no more freely available, but the package is still free software) You are welcome to use the software package even for commercial designs whithout any fee, and this for all rev : 2.0,3.0,3.2 and later. You are just required to mention : "Designed with Alliance CAD system" -- Sincerely, Olivier. ==================================================================== Olivier SIROL Alliance Team ASIM/LIP6/UPMC Coul. 55-65, 2e etg, Bur. 213 75252 Paris Cedex 05 mailto:Olivier.Sirol@lip6.fr Tel: (33/0) 1.44.27.30.43 http://humanus.lip6.fr/~czo Fax: (33/0) 1.44.27.72.80 ===================== Alliance on the WWW ========================== - Home page : http://asim.lip6.fr/alliance/ - Ftp site : ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/lip6/softs/alliance/ - E-mail support : mailto:alliance-support@asim.lip6.fr ====================================================================
