Rights Management
Common Rights and Visibility
Steven asked for feedback on John's error reporting proposal. The working group is generally happy with the direction, and may be prepared to approval recommendations consistent with that proposal in a future meeting.
Steven asked if the output control ideas from the Cadence donation could be reasonably included under common rights (following the scheme John has defined for error reporting). Ray expressed concern about whether some of those controls would leave the output formatting under-specified in the standard. Jeff noted that netlist outputs from synthesis tools are affected by a large number of tool specific options. Ray replied that keeping the rights definition narrow might help us arrive at the common behaviors that could be controlled independent of which tool vendor was involved.
Joe suggested that the working group review the VSIA and Cadence donations to determine whether there are possible candidates for common rights that are narrow enough and universal enough to include in the common rights definition for this revision of our standard.
