If Synopsys charges for access to their standard, then
one should be careful about separating such access from
work on the DC-WG standard, lest it become "encumbered".
There seems to be consensus that its desirable for the
standard to be freely available- a topic of some discussion
with regard to the Cadence donation.
Perhaps it would be best to let Synopsys compare the
direction of DC-WG versus Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC)
until the legal implications are understood.
Sorry, Ibna.
