A further issue that has cropped up twice in the last hour: Library licensing
https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library/issues/1259#issuecomment-330374095 https://forum.kicad.info/t/default-libraries-gpl-licencing-vs-proprietary- designs/140/8 We have been discussing this for a while in this thread - https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg28181.html It initially looked like we had a consensus but then it quickly devolved and never reached a conclusion. *Without entering into the same back-and-forth again, *and with the following stipulations: a) All libraries will have the same license agreeement b) A single LICENSE.md file will suffice What license should we be using? 1. CC-BY-SA - This is what Wayne originally suggested IIRC 2. modified GPL similar to gEDA license? I need a consensus on this so I can add the license files to the repositories and add the information to the website.
