I see no relation between "If the content enhances the OS user experience, then
the content is OK to be packaged in Fedora" and "the user experience must be
provided only by free tools".
Would iverilog be nice to have? Definitely yes. Should its presence at the same
time with OVM be mandatory ? Absolutely not. Users might be using EDA software
from other sources. Actually I bet that 99% percent of them are using
commercial tools and I also bet that in an enterprise environment they always
will.

<small rant on>
In the company I work for we use several commercial EDA tools. Since July 2008
the number of engineers interacting with OVM increased from 2 to 25 and their
number will increase in the future [, depending on the projects that end / new
projects that start]. How would not the presence of OVM in a repository enhance
these users' experience ? As sysadmin I would definitely have preferred to do
"yum install ovm.el4" instead of "tar xzf ovm-2.0.tar.gz"

For what it's worth and completely unrelated, we have a very small team of
courageous people who use gtkwave from EPEL when the number of licenses for the
commercial tool is insufficient.
