We need to adopt a license and have that be the absolute end to it.  Unless
you are planning on getting royalties for your work, there is no reason to
not use something very similar to GPL.  

I feel very strongly that if we are going to be making "opencores" they need
to be open in the strictest sense.  And to me that says something like GPL.

Thank you - I look forward to it.

One other thing I forgot to mention.  With respect to the license terms,
I strongly recommend adoption of the NetBSD license or similar.  I believe
that core users must have the option of not releasing their source if 
building a commercial product, and for that reason the GPL is a problem.
