Migen is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under
the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
Software Foundation, version 3 of the License. This program is
distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY
WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or

Additional permissions under section 7 of the GNU General Public License
(GPL) are hereby granted. The purpose of this exception is to allow
non-GPL (including proprietary) logic cores to be used in conjunction
with code generated by Migen in a design.
"Generated" code refers to Verilog or VHDL code that has been obtained
by converting FHDL structures using Migen.
To "instantiate" is to include and connect another module as specified
in section 12.1.2 of the IEEE standard 1364-2001 or in section 9.6 of
the IEEE standard 1076-1993.
(1) You have permission to propagate a work of generated code that
instantiates modules that are not generated code and do not comply
with the GPL.
(2) You have permission to propagate a work of Verilog or VHDL code that
is not generated code, does not comply with the GPL and instantiates
generated code.
The availability of this exception does not imply any general
presumption that third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft
requirements of the license of Migen.
Unless otherwise noted, Migen's source code is copyright (C) 2011-2012
Sebastien Bourdeauducq.
The simulation extension (as mentioned in the comments at the beginning
of the corresponding source files) is copyright (C) 2012 Vermeer
Manufacturing Co.
Other authors retain ownership of their contributions. If a submission
can reasonably be considered independently copyrightable, it's yours and
I encourage you to claim it with appropriate copyright notices. This
submission then falls under the "otherwise noted" category. All
submissions must use a license compatible with the GPL and the exception
above.
