=item May programs I create with Verilator remain under my own copyright?
Yes, it's just like using GCC on your programs. If you change Verilator
itself, you must make the source code available under the GNU Public
License. However, the include and generated files use the GNU Lesser
Public License, which means that files using them are NOT required to be released.
Yes, it's just like using GCC on your programs; this is why Verilator uses
the "GNU *Lesser* Public License" instead of the more typical "GNU Public
License". If you change Verilator itself or the header files Verilator
includes, you must make the source code available under the GNU Lesser
Public License. However, Verilator output (the Verilated code) only
includes the licensed files, and so you are NOT required to release any
output from Verilator.
You also have the option of using the Perl Artistic License, which again
does not require you release your Verilog or generated code.
