> Symbolic (ghost) versions of FlexLib allowed Libre-SOC developers to not have to sign a Foundry NDA during the development of the ASIC Layout

In other words, this chip isn't even remotely open-source.

What they sent to the foundry isn't the "ghost cells" (which don't have transistors in them and therefore don't work).

This fails the most basic requirements of being open source.
