(No mystery pof files, here.)

I did ask after the sources in January
(http://lists.tapr.org/pipermail/time-freq/2006-January/000040.html), at
which point you said, obliquely, "the VHDL files were not released yet"
(http://lists.tapr.org/pipermail/time-freq/2006-January/000041.html).
 
I assumed at the time it was a cathedral versus bazaar situation, but now it
is clear that you won't/can't release the source files.  That's OK -- I have
made my living similarly at times so I get it -- but it would have been good
to know from the start that the sources wouldn't be released.
 
The bottom line is that if we want the entire design to be truly open, we
need to re-create your work from scratch so that the design can be shared
and improved upon in an open fashion.
