Hello, if we look at what the GEDA guys do/did, I seem to understand that they licensed everything (software and libraries) under GNU GPL: https://github.com/bert/gschem-symbols
Word-processor templates for open-source word processors are open-source tools like LibreOffice could be distributed under GPL without your final word-processor document having to be open source. Library components for an EDA software tool can represent (and often are) a great value and lots of work is often behind it. Such value makes it is worth protecting the libs with a proper license. I think we should continue this discussion without getting too excited. cheers fabrizio On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 3:19 PM, Dick Hollenbeck <d...@softplc.com> wrote: > On 03/22/2012 07:32 AM, Martin wrote: >> I would highly recommend to avoid any copyright notices at all.
