Previous  time issue on FreePDK integration  in Bugzilla
https://java.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3167
was closed as wontfix because of legal issues

http://www.eda.ncsu.edu/wiki/FreePDK

Now days FreePDK is lisenced under terms and conditions which look like to
be not so constraintive for use it foe intrgration. See quotation below:
"*The FreePDKTM process design kit is an open-source, Open-Access-based PDK
for the 45nm technology node and the Predictive Technology Model
<http://www.eas.asu.edu/%7Eptm>. It is distributed under the Apache Open
Source License, Version 2.0 <http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0>.* "




*Design rules table for
FreePDK45:http://www.eda.ncsu.edu/wiki/FreePDK45:RuleDevel
<http://www.eda.ncsu.edu/wiki/FreePDK45:RuleDevel>*


*source repo is also available for now:svn co
https://svn.unity.ncsu.edu/osi/freepdk45/trunk
<https://svn.unity.ncsu.edu/osi/freepdk45/trunk> freepdk45/trunk*


Could Electric officially  support FreePDK now? At least integrating design
rules?

What kind of help is needed due to achieving of this?
(Can I help somehow?)
