The most important is asking the authors to sign a copyright assignment to the FSF for the package in question. > irsim-mode (not included) has two features - highlight and > indentation.

Can your vhdl-mode maintainer for emacs can fix it and put > ghdl as default simulator please ? There's no "vhdl-mode maintainer" other than the vhdl-mode author.
