Well we use this already for the 3d model lib.
https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-packages3D/wiki/Model-Licencing

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/msg21732.html <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:
    Library licensing

    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
