Somebody forwarded me this thread.<br>I couldn' reply to the thread on the web site. Hence this email.<br>I dont know who said that ADMS is going closed source.<br>This software was intended to be under GPL.<br>So I dont think this software can go closed source.<br>
I wrote this software paid by a company freescale from 2003 to June 2008.<br>Then I improved the software from June 2008 to 2011 on my own.<br>The company has full ownership of the code written from 2003 to June 2008.<br>
Another person and I have full ownership of the extra code we put from 2008 to 2011.<br>Марат Якупов - the othere person- helped to the development of the tool during those periods.<br>Please when you will make modifications to the code make sure that all contributors are acknowledged<br>
adequately.<br>Wish you good luck,<br>Laurent<br><br>PS: Paolo could you please add my answer to ngspice-dev? Thanks.<br></blockquote></div></div><div style> </div></div></div></div>
