Quoting from the url:
2.Only non-commercial, not-for-profit use of this software is
permitted. No part of this software may be incorporated into a
commercial product without the written consent of the authors (Vaughn
Betz, Alexander (Sandy) Marquardt and Jonathan Rose). Similarly, use
of this software to assist in the development of new commercial FPGA
architectures is prohibited, unless the written consent of the authors
is obtained.

I would say  "use of this software" includes targeting a FPGA, the
hardware license is just another term.
