As long as they don't have a copyright on the SPICE syntax the wheel can be 
reinvented. In my efforts of turning my linux box into an analog integrated 
circuit design station I have installed most of the installable spices and 
gnucap. In my opinion it would be the best for the whole community if Spice3 
was withdrawn from market, because then there would be no reason /not/ to 
invest some time in making gnucap a replacement.

Digital design has always had the advantage of attracting software 
programmers, just look at the well of digital simualtion tools available. 
It's unfair...
