Hi Scott,
I just added to repository the following licenses:
GPLv3 and Apache2
because the newly added WenQuanYi fonts are covered by Apache2 or GPLv3.
Thanks

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
