Hi,
I am packaging openscad with MCAD for Fedora. All the materials about MCAD says, it is LGPL but individual files says several licenses.

I have a problem with polyholes.scad and transformations.scad - they have no license staytment. Is it possible to add the license to the files?

Thanks

The origin of polyholes.scad is http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6118
The author says:
"As I understand it the CC licence that it has at the moment allows you to include it in MCAD as long you attribute it to "nophead".

As far as I am concerned anybody can do whatever they want with it as it is just a trivial bit of applied maths and openscad, not something that merits copyright or attribution."

I'll look into transformations.scad.

Thanks, is it possible to add something like this to the file?

// CC BY 3.0

Or even better:

// This file is licensed under the terms of Creative Commons
Attribution 3.0 Unported.

Just after the
// Copyright 2011 Nophead (of RepRap fame)
comment.

I know that you don't have to do this, because it is not a CC Share
Alike license, but it would really help me with packaging - Fedora is
very precise about the licenses.

Thanks,

Hi again,

Both polyholes.scad and transformations.scad are now updated with license info.
