I'm not sure. I'm not a lawyer. It's not much of a license in the typical sense. Your best bet would be to ask the FSF if it's compatible. Any code contributed to KiCad must be compatible with the GPL2+. Since you are cherry picking a file from the source, you may want to check with the author as well. > > Mario > ________________________________________ > From: Kicad-developers > [[email protected]] on behalf of > Wayne Stambaugh [[email protected]] > Sent: 28 October 2015 12:59 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Kicad-developers] 3D-Viewer Raytraced render > > You may want to take a careful look at the pbrt-v3 license before you > get too involved.
