No, the Verilog *program* is not public domain. The Verilog *High-level Description Language* specification is. This means that if some other company decides to produce a Verilog HDL compatible tool, there is no problem. Is the Verilog-XL program reliable? Yes, after all, it was reliable enough to keep Gateway in business, and good enough to make Cadence want to purchase the company.
