Thanks. The use of the word "mining" still confuses me, among other
things. But whatever, it's not important that I understand.
Most (all?) FPGA chips have undisclosed bitstream formats.
I see, dimly. Well, in any case, policy on this kind of fuzzy
hardware/software issue has to be decided by rms. I couldn't begin to
guess what he will think about it.
Thanks,
