I fail to see where counterproductivity as such is mentioned, but I can
say this:
That's a very, very different discussion then "code vs. content".
Also, I do read:
"And now the next question - is it feasible to develop an open source
SystemVerilog simulator in the near feature? I'm sorry to say - but it
seems not. Not soon. Too little resources for a too big task. I'll be
happy if somebody proves me wrong."
Which to me reads like it needs time, community, and support -not
counterproductivity. Fedora can offer these three for free, and may
benefit from it. It's a nifty, kinky line of business I do not
understand the least bit about, but I fail to see where this is negative
and therefor not accepted into Fedora.
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen
