[GRASS5] free dwf?

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all.
Does anybody know about this news? Seems encouraging, even though the licence 
is probably the usual puzzle.

This Release Candidate version of the DWF Toolkit 7 provides: APIs for reading 
and writing 3D DWF from any application, simplified 2D interfaces, and 
cross-platform support (Windows, Mac, Linux). Use the DWF Toolkit to build 
applications that create and view 2D and 3D DWFs, object properties, DWF 
Composer markups, and more... This toolkit allows you to develop applications 
that read or write multi-sheet 2D or 3D drawings in DWF format. 
The toolkit contains C++ libraries that aid in the generation, reading, and 
parsing of DWF files. You can use it to work with DWF files without having to 
understand their complete underlying data format. This toolkit contains 
support for the DWF file as defined with the release of AutoCAD 2006.
