I downloaded qcad-2.0.5.0-21.fc19.src.rpm Then: rpmbuild --rebuild Downloads/qcad-2.0.5.0-21.fc19.src.rpm and finally installed it. But I have the same issue: It should crash the graphic environment and the gnome session!

Hello,
qcad-2.0.5.0-17.fc18.i686 fails on a fedora 20 distribution.
Is there a plan to have is working.
the srpm does not seem to be available!
Thank
To solve this, I downloaded the community edition of qcad from http://www.ribbonsoft.com/en/qcad-downloads-trial
Just un-tar and run it.

The version from this site:
http://www.qcad.org/en/blog/137-qcad-3-3-2
Is at version 3.3.2 and was updated recently (Sep 2013)
Perhaps it can get un-retired?

The main body of the latest version is now GPLv3 licensed but I'm not sure about the stuff it bundled, I'll have to dig through it and see if anything has changed in 3.4.5.

Ok, doing a little preliminary work, I can't find any non-free licenses in the current release per their own LICENSE.txt and gpl-3.0-exceptions.txt files. Now there could be a incompatible mix of FOSS licenses but I could use a an expert here...
Looking at the licenses that licensecheck recognizes I get this: $ licensecount . 9682 *No copyright* UNKNOWN 741 *No copyright* GENERATED FILE 489 GPL (v3 or later) 218 UNKNOWN 69 LGPL (v2.1 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) 18 zlib/libpng 12 GPL (v2 or later) 3 LGPL (with incorrect FSF address) 2 GENERATED FILE 1 BSD (2 clause)

I guess this is what I find confusing... This indicates it's in the Public Domain... Looking at the Fedora acceptable license page, this should be ok, right?

Ok, restrictions being bad in general, the two listed don't appear to be particularly onerous. Is that the only problem? I looked through the bug report and even following the links to the debian bugs but there seems to be a severe lack of specifics.

You can try change "Spot's" mind.

Without specifics I don't even know if the situation is different now with
the 3.X releases. If LibreCAD is a good replacement then there may be no point.

That is the way to go, he's usually on the ball. Those that need qcad can go upstream.

Well, you could download the old src.rpm as used by Fedora and try to verify whether what's written in bug 907111 is true. Then compare with the latest release to find out what has changed.

Looks like the package was approved last October but there don't appear to
be any builds... Maybe I should see if Spot needs a co-maintainer.

I took a quick look at LibreCad and it is sadly lacking in the simplest things a cad program should be able to do.
I think there is now an AutoCAD clone --maybe and AutoCADLT clone, I don't know-- but I forget where I heard about it. That's what you want. I don't know (yet) how close QCad comes to that golden mean, but I'm going to find out in a day or so.
