   1 Migen (Milkymist Generator)
   2   a Python toolbox for building complex digital hardware
   3
   4 Migen aims at automating further the VLSI design process. It provides
   5 tools to build synchronous designs more productively, integrate
   6 system-on-chips, design dataflow systems, and more. Migen will become
   7 the foundation for the next-generation Milkymist SoC.

  29 Additional permissions under section 7 of the GNU General Public License
  30 (GPL) are hereby granted. The purpose of this exception is to allow
  31 non-GPL (including proprietary) logic cores to be used in conjunction
  32 with code generated by Migen in a design.
  33
  34 "Generated" code refers to Verilog or VHDL code that has been obtained
  35 by converting FHDL structures using Migen.
  36
  37 To "instantiate" is to include and connect another module as specified
  38 in section 12.1.2 of the IEEE standard 1364-2001 or in section 9.6 of
  39 the IEEE standard 1076-1993.

  41 (1) You have permission to propagate a work of generated code that
  42     instantiates modules that are not generated code and do not comply
  43     with the GPL.
  44 (2) You have permission to propagate a work of Verilog or VHDL code that
  45     is not generated code, does not comply with the GPL and instantiates
  46     generated code.

  48 The availability of this exception does not imply any general
  49 presumption that third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft
  50 requirements of the license of Migen.
