With .lbr file I meant what Benjamin Nauck explained above. A file that has
4 things: the layout of physical pads of components' pads for the PCB, the
schematic of the component, the mapping of physical pads to schematic pins
and some metadata.
For example, a device looks like this (pin mapping n

By lbr file do you mean schematic component libraries or board footprint
libraries? If you mean component libraries than Nick's comments apply
and the schematic plugin doesn't exist yet but is part of the current
development cycle. If you mean footprint libraries, then they have not
been implemen
There is some support, we can use the eagle footprints from v6. But
the problem I see is simply that it is not easily possible in eeschema
yet.

I guess that lbr files are for the schematic symbols. If that is the
case, I think the reason is nothing with licensing, but rather that
there is no "plugin" implemented for eeschema as there is in pcbnew,
where one would implement this conversion.

Hello,
I noticed that to use Eagle's lbr files in Kicad we need to export them
from eagle using an ulp (https://github.com/lachlanA/eagle-to-kicad).
I think it would be beneficial to have Kicad read directly the lbr files,
as that saves time to the user and doesn't require the user to have Eagle.
