I would like to contribute a multi-cycle (slow, but area-compact) (Hehe, someone else already released a pipelined integer-divider, to the opencores.org repository. Gence I'm marketing my divider as 'compact'!) I am reading through the FAQ, and one part has me a bit confused...
===
The 'licensing' portion -- I understand that the 'GPL' license is fairly restrictive in that it forces derivative works to be distributed in documented *AND* modifiable form.
My goal is to let *anyone* use my integer-divider as they see fit. If they want to use it in a closed commercial project, that's fine. It seems like a GPL-release cannot be used in a closed project, is that correct?
So under which license should I release my divider? LGPL, BSD, etc.?!?
...
Also, is Xilinx Webpack 5.1ISE the final version that will run under Win98se (no flames please)? The newer versions refuse to install.
