Last time we talked about a license for the parts library we couldn't
reach an agreement, so here I am again trying to wrap this up. I know
this is a boring subject but let's try to reach an agreement.
I don't think we need to write a long license, something small and
simple should be enough to cover all of our needs. Here's an initial
draft (based on the zlib license), you can add more restrictions if you
feel they are needed:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This library is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied
warranty. In no event will the authors be held liable for any damages
arising from the use of this library.
Permission is granted to anyone to use this library for any purpose,
including commercial applications, and to alter it and redistribute it
freely, subject to the following restrictions:
1. The origin of this library must not be misrepresented; you must not
claim that you wrote the original library. If you use this library
in a product, an acknowledgment in the product documentation is
required.
2. Altered versions must be plainly marked as such, and must not be
misrepresented as being the original library.
3. This file may not be removed or altered from any distribution.
[INSERT LIST OF AUTHORS]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
- It has a disclaimer, to free us from any problems
- It allows users to do whatever they want
- It adds redistribution restrictions

| I will be the debian maintainer of leocad, so this issue is of interest to me. I asked a few questions about the parts library on the debian-legal mailing list.
