You can go a long way with open-source simulators,
not very far with synthesis tools...
and nowhere without a proper Back-end place & Route.

The problem is that the tools that you could replace with open-source are the relatively cheap ones and the tools that you really have to buy are the expensive ones.

Realistically it would be better to get a design house to do the work for you
so you don't have to pay for a full license as they can share the licenses amonst
many projects
 

Goto database section of **broken link removed**. This site provide list of most of the opensource softwares related to electronics, EDA, VHDL etc.
