Definitely a wise stance there, unless the author of the Eagle symbol gave explicit permission for this, under agreeable licensing terms. Having tools available allowing users to migrate their artworks from other packages can't be a bad thing though. With regards distributed symbols, I would welcome a drive to _remove_ some shipped components from the main library, placing others into collections which can be installed separately if desired. We do have to weigh up the desire to have a clean component set with the desire to be newbie friendly though (having symbols for components they want already made, presented in an easily discoverable manner). -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
