The catch of course is that I cannot add such a functionality within KiCAD itself because the CGAL license is incompatible (a mix of LGPL and GPL3). If I make a stand-alone exporter which KiCAD can of course invoke via a 'system()' call, would it be possible to include the full source in the KiCAD tree with the stand-alone exporter being GPL3? > > - Cirilo
Your proposed path seems to adequately side step licensing problems (but you would have to write new board loading code, which is not technically optimal). But getting code into the tree has always been about more than licensing compatibility as you know. We have some project concepts brewing which you can also possibly benefit from. Waiit a week, is my suggestion. > > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
