Hi,
I know this is probably hashed over and over, but I have done a fair
bit of searching before asking. I am developing schematics which can't
become GPL. Can I use a symbol from the library if the use-license is
unlimited even if the dist-license is gpl? The paragraph below
references the board that comes from the design but not the additional
propitiatory symbol and schematic files used to produce the board. I
could see it meaning that I have to give away the design but I can
charge for the boards, thus this clarification.

dist-license
The dist-license attribute is used to specify the redistribution license
for the symbol or schematic. It should be the name of a known license.
Some examples values are: GPL, GPL version 2 only, GPL version 3 only,
public domain, Apache version 2, Modified BSD, X11, etc.
For a list of licenses see: FSF License List and OSI License List
use-license
The use-license attribute is used to specify the license for how the
symbol or schematic can be used by other people in their own circuits or
boards. Some example values are: unlimited, personal use only, not for
sale, etc.
