Hi, We hereby announce that Microform AB in Sweden, the owners and developers of the VARKON CAD-system has decided to release the complete VARKON sources under the GPL License. VARKON is a CAD system and CAD applications development tool that has been available free of charge for Linux for a couple of years as a binary distribution. Check: http://www.varkon.com for more info. The release of the sources will take some time. We are currently making a complete reaorganization of the source tree and a general cleanup rewrite and translation of selected parts of the comments to english in order to make everything get the feel and look of common GPL/LGPL sources. For those of you who are interested we have already released two+ modules (DB, EX and a snapshot of GE). You can download them from the VARKON website, URL above. Left to release is the IG, GP, WP, PM, AN, PL and complete GE module. The full VARKON documentation is already available online and for download. - -- Johan Kjellander, Microform AB http://www.varkon.com (VARKON/English) http://www.microform.se/toan (Sailing/Swedish)
