Yes - sorry for not being more clear here - I tried to make a
distinction between the pre-existing project and your own project,
but I didn't express it very well.

I think you did exactly the right thing creating an own project!

I also think the way you went about it made for a bumpier road (if
not for yourself then for others who were already working in the
pre-existing project(s)) than was neccessary.

There is no problem and ideally that remains the case. The only thing
sortof being a problem is that I was left with a less than stellar
impression of your interactions within other contexts. :\

I would wish for them to be more, hm, maybe graceful.

I'm not upset about anything really, but being legal is indeed an
important topic for all open source and free software projects!

I guess we don't have to worry about problems in this project. The
scope is quite different and to end by coming back on topic I do want
to stress that I think your work on using Verilog for netlists is
important and useful! Well done and thanks a lot!

Maybe you saw that a couple of gEDA folks will be at FOSDEM - is
there any chance that you'll go too?
