we've tried to collect all the gpl stuff when we were poking around 
with making our own autocad drawings for our chassis...

http://www.Linux-CAE,net/CAD
        - if its NOT cpl'd .. it might not get listed
        - if its autocad compatible... it probably should be listed

        - real world dictates "autocad" for anything we do
        and has to be 100% ( 99.9% ) accurate ( no bugs )
        so that we can make real metal parts out of it
