 ## Abstract: Can you explain the whole project and its expected outcome(s).
 
+LIP6's VLSI tools are one of the few user-operated toolchains for creating
+ASIC layouts where the full source code is available for inspection.
+This means that there is no opportunity for insertion of rogue hardware
+into an ASIC made by LIP6 tools which could compromise user trust, either locally or for
+internet use. Further: academic, public and free discussion are all
+engendered and fostered where at present NDAs rife through the VLSI
+Industry prevent and prohibit discussion and general improvements beneficial
+to users.
