Hi All!

Can somebody clarify which is the license for the "AVR Core" project? (http://opencores.org/?do=project&who=avr_core)
I'm sending a copy to Ruslan Lepetenok, but the last modifications to the project are old (2006 and made by other guy, 2003 is the last mdo by Ruslan)
BTW, the license is a very important property of a project it should be listed in the "Other project properties" section and it can't be optional.
In this case Ruslan says this is a "free" version, but this isn't enough.

I heavily modified it and also added WISHBONE support, but I can't do anything with it (i.e. publish the changes in OpenCores) if the license isn't clear.

Regards, SET

the version at OC is FREE, pretty much no strings attached.

Ruslan has modified versions himself that are not free, but those are also not published.

So I guess it is defenetly ok to make the modified versions of the free version available..

Hi,
We will shortly send out an email to all project-maintainers and ask them to update the project-page with license information and encourage them to add more FPGA utilization details.

Regards,
Marcus Erlandsson

I understand you, but saying something is free isn't enough to allow copying, modifying, etc.
