I am using a translator.
Hello,
I would like to respectfully make the following suggestions:
1. Consult the FSF on the possibility of changing the license of the LibreDWG library (currently GNU GPLv3+), to a license that would be compatible with the current LibreCAD license.
I know that this topic has already been discussed in this and other forums on the Internet, however, that was more than 10 years ago and much has changed in the free software movement since then.
It is also worth noting that LibreDWG has gotten much better at supporting the DWG format and has moved from being an alpha to beta library.
We could support the request with an open letter on GitHub.
2. Explore the possibility of being able to use in the future other libraries to manipulate DXF/DWG files, e.g.: ezdxf [1], IxMilia.Dxf [2], JDXF [3], LibreDWG [4] in case of a hypothetical license change, etc.
Currently, FreeCAD can import DXF/DWG files as follows [5].
1.
