RED Semiconductor is being set up to realise LibreSOC designs and concepts in actual silicon. It is NOT intended to REPLACE LibreSOC because to assign Copyright to a Corporation is prohibited by our relationship with NLnet (assigning to a Foundation however such as OPF is perfectly fine). -Therefore whilst we in LibreSOC as individuals are the actual non-affiliated architects of the ISA Extensions, RED Semiconductor will not own the Copyright but will be in exactly the same boat as any other Corporationat liberty to implement SVP64 because of its Libre provenance. +Therefore whilst we in LibreSOC as individuals are the actual non-affiliated architects of the ISA Extensions, RED Semiconductor will not own the Copyright but will be in exactly the same boat as any other Corporation at liberty to implement SVP64 because of its Libre provenance. The key person acting as the bridge between both world will be myself (Luke Leighton), and I will ensure *and require* that RED Semiconductor provides adequate funds and resources for the long haul, in order to not only see through the proposals but also ensure that the associated toolchains, test duites, documentation etc. are properly written and maintained, long-term. Yet I stress, again, that despite committing the financial resources, RED Semiconductor will *not* own the Copyright or any patents on LibreSOC work.
