Subject: [oc] CPU core patent, copyright or license issues
Copyright does not cover making something work based on it's public
description, and so, in general is moot for this, unless copyrighted
HDL was used and not built from scratch or only public domain HDL
sources.



The leaves patents, which it's best to ask a lawyer... That said,
most of the CPUs on here are over 20 years old (patent life), and so I
wouldn't expect it to be much of an issue, but really is something you
want to ask a lawyer (or whatever company that made the original IP)
and not this list....
