Dear VSD-OIPD team Philipp notified me that you require a email with formal permit for the paper trail, so I write this email to you. I'm David, the founder of LibreSilicon project. As long as you don't claim the project name for your own purpose, and use it to manufacture and market closed source semiconductors, I'm fine with your declaration of cooperation. In case you wanna cooperate deeper BTW, you might wanna sign up to our mailing list https://list.libresilicon.com Also, I'm right now designing a mask less stepper aligner, which has me totally wrapper up, I'm drawing technical drawings into my sketch note book like that guy from Deathnote writing names down xD You can join me in the design process, I'm using a web based CAD tool now https://vention.io/dashboard, it's like Altium360 for machine design :-)

Cheers -lev
