Which is a pro-argument for the licensing change - maybe if they can make it a revenue stream, quality can improve. Back at Uni when we tinkered with FPGA in a lab course I was excited about the topic of reconfigurable computing, but I got mostly repelled by the bad state and quality of the dev tools and I (and some other students) did decide not to persue that field further. They lost some potential clients that year early on.
