Phil, could you elaborate a bit on the potential proprietary information
that would be lost by publishing palasm sources? Is it that perhaps
AMD knows more about logic minimization than the rest of us do? :-)
Or does AMD have some strange technique for loading fuse maps? Or
is there general fear that eg Cypress might just hack the palasm source
such that it would generate maps for their parts?
