Thank you, Cadence and Mentor Graphics
Cadence and Mentor Graphics have both announced on the same day (4/12/2008) [1] [2]that Open Verification Methodology is available under the Apache 2 license. While thousands of verification engineers are already using it, now if OVM gets into Fedora repositories, we will be providing industry-class verification tools for our FEL users. OVM is maintained by …
