[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: [OSGeoLive] GPL and Related Projects in the Open

[Duncan Lithgow]

 Regarding the FSF high priority list.

Over at osarch.org we've been talking about the need for improved free
software implementations of DWG. The LibreDWG project has seen quite a bit
of activity recently. Is better DWG support something OSGeo members think
is important?
