Bug#871733: RFP: qcad -- computer-aided design (CAD) application for 2D design and drafting

[Yangfl]

Hi,

I'm interested in CAD but don't have much experience in CAD on linux.
Could you explain a bit how qcad is different from librecad?

Thanks.

  Version : 3.16.1

QCAD was part of Debian until squeeze, but has been removed
because of license problems and a fork, librecad, emerged.
Meanwhile, it looks like the license problems of QCAD may be
solved. Also, QCAD, according to some of its users, has
developed features not yet present in librecad. It therefore
makes sense to package QCAD in addition to librecad.
