Re: [vhdl-200x] Code sharing

Hi Jim,

As you know, the IEEE owns the copyright to anything developed in the WG.
The old packages have the IEEE copyright statement in them. Likewise, IEEE
would own the copyright to new packages if they are developed by the WG.

Regards,
Joan

Hi Joan and David,
This would be for selected new packages. Not the old stuff.
The old stuff is already covered by IEEE copyright.
