Looking for example at the Mentor statement, the preferred way to get this authorization is to have Mentor redeliver the code to the ITC members with an embedded notice along the following lines: //---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- // Mentor Graphics, Corp. and Accellera Corporation // // (C) Copyright, Mentor Graphics, Corp. and Accellera Corporation 2003-2006 // All Rights Reserved // Licensed Materials - Property of Mentor Graphics, Corp. and Accellera Corporation // // No part of this file may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, // or transmitted in any form or by any means --- electronic, mechanical, // photocopying, recording, or otherwise --- without prior written permission // of Mentor Graphics, Corp. or and Accellera Corporation.

I'd appreciate your help in getting this matter resolved promptly to avoid impacting our joint technical progress as part of ITC working group.
