#91607 - Licence?
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Youve got to pay for a licence, sod that for a game of soldiers. Nice idea but completely buggered up by greed.

Licence for what?

There's no licence for the parts - but yes, you have to pay for the tools.
At least, you did in Triscend's day - not sure how Zylogic are going to play that one.

It does seem somewhat daft for any company to put up any barriers to the adoption of their products - surely they want to make money by selling products, not by selling tools?

That said, the Triscend licence was a whole lot cheaper than Atmel's FPSLIC (an AVR with on-chip FPGA and Flash) - which seems to be the only other comparable thing available today.
