[Mário Luzeiro <mrluzeiro@xxxxx>]

Hi Wayne,
I found that their license is similar to some others that are already been used in kicad: poly2tri, trackball.h
So I thought I could use a file from the project, keep the licence and give the credits as request, or did I miss something?

Hi Wayne,

I am not using the PBRT project, I am just using one cpp file that I made my modifications and some other few lines of code. So it is not an external dependency.

Their licence is here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmp/pbrt-v3/master/LICENSE.txt

Do you think that it compatible?

Mario

You may want to take a careful look at the pbrt-v3 license before you
get too involved.  I'm not sure it's GPL2+ compatible.  It may be but
you should get clarification.  Also, pbrt-v3 is not packaged in Debian
and likely not packaged for any other platform either so that needs to
be considered as well.  I am not allowing any more CMake dependency
library build code in KiCad so that is not an option.
