I don't know what everyone is going to think, but here goes. I make a living while going to University doing some lightweight electronics design / consulting. In this endevour I do use gEDA. What I do about this propriety issue is thus, schematics and layouts are for my client only, but If I need to make a Symbol or Footprint, I'll gladly give those away. I think this is adheres to the spirit while being resonable in the non-utopian world. Ideally I'd like to post all my work, and allow others to benifit from it, but that doesn't allow me to live and be educated. -Lares On Thu, 14 Dec 2006 21:04:43 +0000 Peter TB Brett <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thursday 14 December 2006 18:47, Karel Kulhavy wrote: > > > > For PCB that might be the same: if you distribute gerber files, you > > > distribute the *output* of PCB, which obviously doesn't contain literal > > > code from the footprints.
