Hello all,

Development is very busy now with tremendous new features that will be
unveiled in LibreCAD 2. Check out what's going on at github and IRC to
get a preview.

I've been periodically watching the progress to make sure everything
stays within license compliance. Some issues we should resolve:


1) what is the license and copyright for jwwlib/?  "dl_jww-copy.cpp"
says "Copyright (C) 2001-2003 RibbonSoft. All rights reserved." and
licensed GPLv2, but I can't find that file from anything RibbonSoft
distributes. The other files are not licensed at all. Could we check
into the copyright and license for that library (make it GPL2+ i.e.
GPLv2 or greater)? If we're not planning on releasing this ever (if
the new dxf library doesn't need it, for example), they we don't have
to worry about it.

2) I already talked to Rallaz, but ttf2llf has the same problem (it
says copyright RibbonSoft, but I don't see anything at RibbonSoft's
site about it; and the license is only GPLv2 not GPLv2+)

Cheers,
Scott
