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. + # Have you been involved with projects or organisations relevant to this project before? And if so, can you tell us a bit about your contributions? -- 2.30.2
