I think that the issue is not whether GRASS can use a piece of software
under a BSD/MIT license, but whether a piece of software licensed under
BDS/MIT can use GRASS.

Does that make sense? Should this question go to the list? If this kind of
question can be clarified, it might help a lot.

In this context, does this mean that we CAN use the OpenDWG libraries to
distribute v.in.dwg?
