[Shabtay] Ref the Copyright statements made in the code examples
provided by Mentor and Zaiq (discussed yesterday and stated in the
minutes above), I am requesting on Cadence behalf that these statements
get modified to explicitly authorize the use of these files by the
Accellera working group members. 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:

 

//----------------------------------------------------------------------

Until this request gets addressed by Mentor and Patni Computer Systems
(who acquired Zaiq Technologies design and verification assets), we are
stopping any use of the code and any Accellera ITC related investigation
work or task that requires interaction with the Copyrighted code.

 

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

 

Thanks,

 

Shabtay Matalon
