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.

Mustun holds the copyright, but it seems to have no license. If you
can find out if we would be allowed to redistribute 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.
