Symbol/footprint sites and licensing
« on: March 27, 2024, 07:08:37 pm »
Hi.

I usually make my own symbols and footprints when working in KiCAD. This is becoming annoying, so I've started looking at sites like ultralibrarian or snapeda to make my life easier. However I'm not entirely convinced if the symbols/footprint they offer a free to use, especially in commercial applications. They state "free access" everywhere, but that's not very straightforward. Like... free access and then you have to pay a licensing fee for every manufactured device. Does anyone know the legal side of things regarding using these sites (or others you may know)?
