I think we should lower the entry threshold first. The open source and free GPU project was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw http://llhd.io/. After all, one of the main problems with OpenHardware projects is the closed FPGA ecosystem.

It's pretty amazing how far the open source FPGA tooling has come in the last few years. I'd even go so far as to say some parts of the open source ecosystem have surpassed the commercial tools.

Still a long way to go of course, but I'm pretty positive about the direction things are heading.
