This got me thinking of Foundry 2.0

One of the key problems with Foundry 1.1 was that short-term profit got in the way of partnering for long-term gain. Foundry 2.0 overcomes this limitation by enforcing Bruck’s rule that "partnering only occurs when common interest rises above proprietary interest" fully down the command chain. This is not as easy as it sounds because every link in that chain needs to think like a customer, which builds trust. Trust is what makes customer and supplier willing to go long on profit together by maximizing the partnership and never sacrificing it for short-term cost gains.

Maybe Synopsys provided the initial work "free of charge" and is "willing to go long on profit together by maximizing the partnership and never sacrificing it for short-term gains"
