The new libraries (for v5 of KiCad release) will be split from this repo and moved to:\r\n\r\n* kicad-symbols\r\n* kicad-packages3d\r\n* kicad-templates\r\n\r\nThey will also be relicensed under CC-BY-SA with an exception clearly stating that they are free to use in projects (commercial or otherwise) without the project required to honour the BY or SA portions of the license.\r\n\r\nFor more info on the licensing see the discussion [here](https://forum.kicad.info/t/kicad-library-licensing/7856). Note that the final wording of the license agreement has not been decided but that is very indicative of what it will be. \r\n\r\nThe files in this repo are currently licensed under GPL. We need contributor permission to relicense under CC, even though most contributors would not object or have even thought about licensing requirements when they made contributions.\r\n\r\nI have tagged below the major contributors to the kicad-library repository. \r\n\r\n**If you do not consent to your contributions being relicensed under CC** then please voice your objections here. From a practical standpoint we are not going to chase down each individual contributor. \r\n\r\nCheers!\r\n\r\n@jkriege2 \r\n@sloth\r\n@evanshultz \r\n@keruseykaryu \r\n@hackscribble \r\n@CarlPoirier \r\n@ricardocrudo \r\n@matyro \r\n@piotr-wiszowaty \r\n@nicksyn\r\n@El3ctr0nic \r\n@easyw \r\n@jeromebeguin \r\n@swalense \r\n@ashtonchase \r\n@FabianInostroza \r\n@kajusK \r\n@michal777 \r\n@DASFrank \r\n@mpkopec \r\n@jp-charras \r\n@poeschlr \r\n@andres53016 \r\n@cedricboudinet \r\n@dejfson \r\n@ppelleti \r\n@ObKo \r\n@openelectron \r\n@suzizecat \r\n@samdolt \r\n@hyOzd \r\n@svheymann \r\n@Fat-Zer \r\n@razykov \r\n@pointhi \r\n@ChristianHirsch \r\n@myfreescalewebpage \r\n@Marsfan \r\n@Ratfink \r\n@maqifrnswa \r\n@lorem-ipsum \r\n@Schlumpf \r\n@t3hcatpaw \r\n@liftoff-sr \r\n@Heiko-L \r\n@wiebus \r\n@dfro \r\n@diggit \r\n@gauravjuvekar "},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/KiCad/kicad-library/issues/comments/331321017","html_url":"https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library/issues/1645#issuecomment-331321017","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/KiCad/kicad-library/issues/1645","id":331321017,"user":{"login":"Ratfink","id":320472,"avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/320472?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ratfink","html_url":"https://github.com/Ratfink","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ratfink/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ratfink/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ratfink/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ratfink/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ratfink/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ratfink/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ratfink/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ratfink/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ratfink/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-09-22T00:55:34Z","updated_at":"2017-09-22T00:55:34Z","author_association":"CONTRIBUTOR","body":"Tee-hee, I'm considered a major contributor! 😁 \r\nI'm fine with the license change."}}
