That is not true. First of all, the reason why we used the Alinx module (which you can buy of ebay as well as Amazon), was to make it easier for the community to manufacture and build. Our internal version of the time card does not include the module! The second piece about the XC7A100T, you do not need any license to do any development as the free version of vivado is more than enough to work with. Give us a bit of time and we will have a fully functional open HDL ready for you to add things. It is very easy to sit down and nag about a project. I want you to understand that I had only one goal in mind when I released this project to public and that was allowing others to have a head start to work on time related project. Of course, I work for Facebook and I try to help my company with new technologies as a researcher, but helping the community and releasing the source code (to whatever I had) is just a core value of how I love to support the community.
