imo i wouldn’t overlook CERN too much due to apparent obscurity. that’s CERN as in WWW & LHC.
plus it’s specifically designed for hw, unlike most of the others which are more likely to lean sw centric?
if your hw is very sw-heavy you could even consider splitting the license types between firmware and hardware if it helps.
not saying what the right choice is for you, just the apparent obscurity i think isn’t such a big issue. but welcome correction.
used to be. i think synthetic fibers have changed that alot
