Altera's Quartus > software is also non-free, but it has the following advantages: Do you have any alternative for a GPL project? I'd like to use GPL'd software. Xilinx' web ISE is free! > 1.

And I think it's the other way around, they were developing it under UNIX, and ported to win. I have no clue about the GUI. (It's wriiten somewhere on their site) The thing is that from Altera, you CAN download code for Windows, but not for linux. I think it's uncool. I'll make a project for my own, so I'd not want to pay for anything. Let be enough to buy the FPGA! This is what I don't like in MS... they make you (not us) buy the OS, and they don't provide a C compiler with it... same for Solaris... but I don't want to start a Solaris vs. Linux flame... > 3.

I'd like to pay the least. Poor guy from a technical university.
