[cad-linux] Re: GraphiteOne CAD for Linux

Thanks for your hint. I leared about the PTC name after I renamed everyth=
ing.=20
But I decided to go one anyway. PTC uses their name for their modelling=20
kernel, not for any product. So I hope not to get mail from their law squ=
ad.=20
The funny thing is, that I renamed TomCAD to avoid legal issues with othe=
r=20
CAD companys, who are already using tomcad in their product/domain name.=20

Bye, Thomas
