Part Library

Will to be right to package Part Library from: ftp://ribbonsoft.com/archives/partlibrary/partlibrary-2.1.2.8-1.tar.gz in LibreCAD?

Getting some good symbols, templates give user a kick start.

Re: Part Library

Hi,
It's a good resource, but it isn't licensed for redistribution. Andrew
Mustun holds the copyright, but it seems to have no license. If you
can find out if we would be allowed to redistribute it, then we can
package it in LibreCAD. Most likely it will be proprietary, which is
fine but we can't include it.

This file is available in Ubuntu repository at:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/partlibrary/filelist

Which imply that we may include it. When LC was forked from QCAD, It should have been forked at that time.

We have option:

1) Take from Ubuntu repository, if that imply that it can be redistributed.

2) Taking consent of Andrew Mustun.

What could be more appropriate?

And if it is not possible, we should start developing Part-Library, user contributed to it.

Re: Part Library

hi hsrai,

this was discussed long time ago. We can not redistribute anything from qcad beyond what is already in LibreCAD now.

Thanks, Ubuntu is wrong, I'll request its removal.

A user-contributed part-library would be brilliant! If anyone wants to
get one started please post to this list and we can coordinate here
(probably a github repo so we can pull and merge from it)
Regards,
Scott

Quick update, partlibrary was removed from Ubuntu prior to precise
release and is has not been distributed by ubuntu in the past two
years of releases.

Scott,

I have gone over this with Andrew already.

The part's library actually came from other sources donated to QCad,

but since they don't hold copyright, we can't include them in the source.

The best thing we can do is during installation offer a download for the library,

or have some button available in LibreCAD to download this part's library.

ofcourse in both cases we should mention the library comes from QCad's website.

Rai,

I have been through that route already with personal mails with Andrew (they guy behind QCad)

the same situation goes for the manual, we cannot take it from any repository, even if 'they (ubuntu, Debian, whoever..)' tell us it's GPL,

the original source (Documentation and Part's Library) are not GPL and we cannot include it.

I have agreed with Andrew about this and don't want to get into this situation again.
