The template actually already demonstrates this.  dummyreg[31:0] 
controls the pins 9-40 on the 40-pin header next to the FPGA.  pins 
36 and 38 are the LEDs.

I can't speak definitively since it comes down to a decision by 
someone other than me, but likely those cores would be licensed to 
interested individuals/companies for a flat fee depending on format
(source code or netlist) and level of design support required.

What we'd like to see is if the open-source hardware community might 
take this FPGA and run with it now-- creating and supporting a 
completely alternative bitstream superior to the one we ship by 
default.
