gEDA-user: Is the OrCAD Library Active?

[Arthur Baldwin]

Dear John,

I've spent an hour trying to find the license agreement for OrCAD without success.  If you have an idea where it might be located...I would appreciate a link very much.

Sincerely,

Arthur

You may want to get a copy of the license before you purchase it. Reverse
engineering restrictions, DMCA and other onerous restrictions may be buried in
the fine print.
