Re: License CC-BY-SA-4.0 used in KiCad

 

Carsten,

The metadata (which I assumed to be defined as libraries, templates, and
samples but maybe my thinking is incorrect here) license is
CC-BY-SA-4.0.  What "required parts" are missing that would resolve the
Debian copyright information?

Cheers,

Wayne
