gEDA-user: copyright on schematics, PCBs etc.

[Karel Kulhavy <clock@twibright.com>]

Hello

I would like to know which actions are protected by copyright:
1) taking someone's printed schematic and redrawing it in another editor
2) changing something in a schematic
3) as 1), but for PCB
4) as 2), but for PCB
5) manufacturing electronics according to someone's schematic
 (e. g. making own PCB or making it airwire)
6) manufacturing PCB's according to someone's PCB design.
7) Taking and existing PCB, desoldering all the parts, scanning it,
 putting it as a background into PCB and reconstructing the PCB and
 retracing the schematics using the component values

Another question: do you mean GNU FDL is a good licence for licencing works
like Ronja etc.?
