> What's the difference between dist-license and use-license? dist-license affects symbol/footprint libraries and other distributions of the symbol/footprint as symbol/footprint "software".
use-license affects symbols/footprints within your schematics and boards, when "distributed" as hardware. > Just please make sure the components I already uploaded under GPL > are spread in compliance with GPL. Set dist-license to GPL. However, if you set use-license to GPL, then it *may* mean that any physical hardware must be shipped with full schematics and .pcb files so that the user may change the GPL'd symbols and recreate the board "from sources". > The advantage of GPL is that it promotes free software. Yes, but it doesn't work so well with *hardware* which is why we split the licensing into two parts: distribution and use. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
