Actually, disregarding the Rhombus Tech effort until they produce some hardware (but see also Olimex [1] and Cubieboard [2]), and considering FPGA technology and open cores, as part of looking at the efforts of the OpenRISC community in advance of attending a talk at FSCONS last weekend, I stumbled across the following: http://opencores.org/or1k/Ordb2a-ep4ce22 On a different topic, there was some discussion about open hardware licences in/at the talk, and the following licence came up as a response to perceived shortcomings with software licences when applied to hardware projects: http://juliusbaxter.net/ohdl/ The author did seem to indicate that he welcomed discussion and even correction of his course of action to draft a new licence, in that if people could point him to a licence that fulfilled his criteria, he'd consider using it instead. Maybe there's some information on the Qi-Hardware Wiki that covers this kind of thing, though.
