RE: [vhdl-200x] Code sharing

Just make sure that it does not violate IEEE copyright policies is all I am suggesting.

Hi David,
For packages, we are considering spinning off a open-source project. So it would not be an IEEE standard.
This is not so much different than the SystemVerilog group is doing with OVM.
