[Gerbv-devel] Is it possible to use libgerbv in a commercial software application.

[Sean C. <sea...@fu...>]

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, please 
forgive me if not.

The company I work for has a CFD application for modelling Electronics 
Equipment. We have received user requests to import Gerber files. I have 
found references to gerbv and it looks like a useful tool, especially as 
it is also available as a library, but it seems that as it is GPL we 
will not be able to make use of it.

Can anyone shed any light on whether we could use it, or of anything 
similar we could use to parse/convert Gerber files. We are a commercial 
software organisation, and are willing to pay for tools such as this 
when they save us development effort.

Many Thanks for any guidance.

Sean Crees.
