| | EETimes.com - SystemC director quits, blasts design initiative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | OSCI was already struggling with criticism from other EDA vendors, most notably Mentor Graphics and C Level Design, over a controversial provision in its Synopsys-controlled licensing agreement. |
 | | OSCI has since been spun out as a separate organization, and the effort won a major endorsement when Cadence Design Systems joined. |
 | | VanCleemput's letter said he was "very frustrated with the way OSCI is being pushed in a very wrong direction." He then went on to recite several problems, mostly related to Synopsys' alleged insistence on maintaining control over SystemC's technical activities, licensing agreement, and admission of other EDA vendors. |
