Yeah. I'd love to use a Free (or even a free) software place and route
or synthesis tool for VHDL, but the reality is that these companies
still believe that making information available to do that will
materially hurt them. So, like you, I'm forced to rely upon an abstract
notion of "userspace compatibility". Crazy idea, I know :)
