Re: gEDA-user: Is the OrCAD Library Active?



Dear John,

I've spent an hour trying to find the license agreement for OrCAD without success.  If you have an idea where it might be located...I would appreciate a link very much.

Sincerely,

Arthur

engineering restrictions, DMCA and other onerous restrictions may be buried in
the fine print.
