 \chapter{Advantages of Open-Source Tools in Education}
 \label{chapter:open_source_tools}
 
-Although proprietary Verilog tools are predominant in industry and often boast a wide assortment of features, I argue that they can be one of the biggest deterrents for those first learning digital design. Whether students become aghast at the preposterous licensing fees or become hung up on the steep learning curve of the interfaces, the most popular Verilog tools often have trouble exciting students into furthering their Verilog education. Fortunately, there are several open-source Verilog tools that are praised for their accessibility and ease-of-use. A valuable resource for open-source hardware tools, generators, and reusable designs can be found in the curated list provided here: \url{https://github.com/aolofsson/awesome-opensource-hardware} \cite{awesomeOpenSourceHardware}. For example, a common collection of tools include the simulators Icarus \cite{icarusGitHub} and Verilator \cite{verilatorGitHub}, the waveform viewer GTKWave \cite{gtkwaveGitHub}, the synthesis tool Yosys \cite{yosysGitHub}, the FPGA place and route tools Nextpnr \cite{nextpnrGitHub} and VTR \cite{vtrGitHub}, the ASIC flow OpenLane \cite{OpenLaneGitHub}, and the hardware package manager and build system FuseSoC \cite{fusesocGitHub, edalizeGitHub}. In this section, I will explain why open-source tools excel over proprietary tools in introducing Verilog and digital design to students.
