Hi, I post this question to the specialists. If i write a part, and would use sub parts in it, how do you do this? I wrote (& posted it to lugnet) the 9V straight track (2865.dat) and its possible that i write some more 9V track parts. The track (...) (24 years ago, 24-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I am sorry to jump in so late. I am the debian packager of LeoCAD. My general thoughts on this follow. I think it would be best to use a common, existing license rather than add to the license soup if at all possible. Of course, one doesn't want to (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
