IP For Nothing and Chips for Free : Think Silicon offers free soft IP using a web interface

One of the issues with Open Cores is its large number of GPL'ed IP. Using GPL in your design, under some interpretations, may require you to disclose your whole design. Can a company benefit from freely available high-quality IP and yet maintain its internally developed IP? Just when I thought such IP was impossible to find, Think Silicon comes in and creates a web-accessible free IP generator. To be fair, the modules offered are small but the impact is huge.
