Well we use this already for the 3d model lib.

So it would actually suite us as well.
And back in 2015 Wayne also suggested the gEDA route in this message:

<https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg28181.html>
This is the reason we went down that route for the 3d models.

A further issue that has cropped up twice in the last hour:

We have been discussing this for a while in this thread -
https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg28181.html
<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.
Cheers,
Oliver
