Open source but my impression is that this contains verilog generated by another program?

Thank you, that's very helpful.
Could you point at some examples? It's not unusual for things to be code-generated and it doesn't necessarily impact the license.
All the RTL basically. It’s in a directory called gen_rtl (generated RTL?) and has remarkably few comments for such a complex code base.

Also although technically it's open source if it's generated verilog then isn't that a lot less useful than the code that was used to generate the rtl?
