The libraries are licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0 Is this the proper license for footprint wizards as they are code / scripts and not just "data"?
Also, some of the existing scripts contain license information which indicate various forms of licensing (MIT / GPL2+ ) Intuitively I think that this is effectively KiCad "source" and should be licensed under the same arrangement. Here's a clipping from one of the example wizards: # > # This program source code file is part of KiCad, a free EDA CAD > application. > # > # Copyright (C) 2012-2014 KiCad Developers, see change_log.txt for > contributors. > # > # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or > # modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License > # as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 > # of the License, or (at your option) any later version. > # > # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, > # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of > # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
