It would be great if they could have released this as an open source project for the community to maintain. Unfortunately there is a lack of good OSS circuit simulators with decent GUI interfaces.



They can't; it relies on libraries they paid for to make that they don't have licenses to release the code for.

It would cost a lot of development time/money to replace all those parts, and require a legal review. It was this or nothing.


To be honest, if it's a EDA tool and has a decent GUI then I wouldn't trust it.
