http://www.edn.com/contents/images/6666236.pdf is a pdf of the article, "Improving on PCB design", I think any current or prospective gEDA developers should read about OrCad's origins. Some of their design might be patented, but I bet there's lots of 17 year old or unpatentable stuff we could do well to model. Has advice by Chuck Grant like: "One of the things I teach in my classes is: Never write code until you’ve found three ways of doing it. A lot of people [take] the first [approach] they think of. Chances are, it’s the wrong way or a less-than-perfect way. So you want to find three approaches to the problem, analyze all three of them, and then pick the best. People just don’t do that. They just don’t take the extra time to do that extra step."
