Several years ago Sun released the Verilog source for the hardware
designs of the UltraSPARC T1 and T2 CPUs under the GPL[1]. But you
will be hard-pressed to find a "free" FPGA or ASIC platform to run
said designs on. The world of digital hardware is even more
proprietary and locked-down than most software developers can imagine.
