There was an interesting question asked on the #kicad irc channel: as there is the GPL licence note (COPYRIGHT.txt) included in the library repository, how does it affect PCBs created with the libraries? Are the boards created using the library repository also licenced under the GPL? As footprints are stored in .kicad_pcb files, it could be compared to static linking of GPL software libraries, so the whole design should be licenced under the GPL. Am I right or different rules apply?

Regards,
Orson
