encrypt my IP

I designed a co-processor to the NIOS, its taken five years, but I cannot sell it due to the fact that Quartus has no portal or capability to protect my IP. Only Intel themselves, and their very select partners, get to have the benefit of IP protection. I hoipe Intel someday realizes this is a major flaw in their policy. This is why hardware engineers cannot get anywhere in today's markets. Software is protected for start-ups, hardware IP in FPGA's is NOT.
