The license problems should be fixed now.

LibreCAD is a fork of QCad Community Edition. The license was a little
ambiguous as to what was GPL or not, and the author of QCad clarified
the license. The help files and the fonts were not GPL, so we had to
remove them with our own custom made fonts (thanks Rallaz!)

However, we don't have a replacement for help files yet. That will be
for a future forum posting/project. RvT, the project
manager/maintainer, will probably post a call-for-help in making the
documentation which will be free and freely distributable. Until then,
we'll probably just point people to:
http://www.qcad.org/qcad/manual_reference/


Ries, how about clicking "manual" will open a browser at this address:
