Hy library team,

I have some points and would discuss them on the mailing list:

At first, I would suggest to add LICENSE files into the .pretty
repositories to clarify it (I'm also a little bit unsure about the
license, but from what I see it should be GPL v2).

Another question is about 3d-models. I already seen bunches of Models
merged into KiCad which were clearly from the manufacture. From my
perspective this would be a copyright infringement, because I haven't
found a fitting permission/licence of the company which would allow this
stuff.
This could lead to legal issues in the future, so I would suggest to
check this problem in detail and create treatment recommendation for the
library team.

Now a non legal idea. What about adding contributor/author files into
the .pretty and the schematic repository? I think they would be
motivating for contributors and no big deal to manage.

thx, Thomas
