Copyright 2011(c) Analog Devices, Inc. In this HDL repository, there are many different and unique modules, consisting
of various HDL (Verilog or VHDL) components. The individual modules are
developed independently, and may be accompanied by separate and unique license
terms (such as GPL, LGPL, BSD, modified BSD, commercial or others). Your license
rights with respect to individual modules accompanied by separate license terms
are defined by those terms. The license agreement for each module is generally
located in the module source code. Nothing else shall restrict, limit, or
otherwise affect any rights or obligations you may have, or conditions to which
you may be subject, under such license terms. This agreement does not limit your
rights under, or grant you rights that supersede, the license terms of any
particular module.
All rights reserved. The mere aggregation of these modules (putting them side by side in the same
source code repository or on a hard disk) does not mean that there is one master
license for all the files. It is up to you, the user, to ensure that during the
building a project, which combines these modules together so that they form a
bit file (either one, or multiple for partial reconfiguration), all the individual
licenses are compatible. For example, if a single module is covered by the GPL,
the whole combination must also be released under the GPL—if you can't, or
won't, do that, you may not distribute the resulting bit file.

commercial license only.
+ The commercial license gives you the full rights to create and distribute
bit files on your own terms without any open source license obligations,
