Open-sourcing a more precise time appliance

That's a level of nitpicking that I didn't bother with.

Of course the Verilog or VHDL is just plaintext, which you can modify anywhere, but to actually do anything with it you need to compile it into a bitstream.

It does make me wonder if someone could set up a CI server to get around proprietary compilers like Vivado. Point the community resource at your source and get back a binary! Obviously you'd need to strip the license ID...

i didn't mean to nitpick and it's not nitpicky since there are now open toolchains (though not for xilinx) that you support verilog as a frontend
