Excellent! Just to clarify, I think the issues are the following: * The status of some files is unknown, especially the v93 version of std_logic_1164 and the VITAL packages. * Some files may be distributed in source form, but nothing is said about distributing compiled code. We can work around by compiling on the user's computer, but it would be much more desirable to be allowed to distribute compiled forms. * The limitations that apply to modifications are such that the files are not free software in the sense of Debian, GPL, etc. We can work around by putting the package in Debian non-free, but it would be much more desirable to bring the libraries under a real free software license, such as GPL or BSD or Apache.
