I extract FreeCAD Base module as an independent repo, is that legal?

Post by qingfeng.xia »

I extracted the TypeSystem of FreeCAD base as an independent repo a year ago for my another open source project, parallel-preprocessor.

Using the same LGPL, it seem legally right. Recently, I am extracting more stuff like UnitSystem, Geometry.

I probably will experiment something like using pybind11 to wrap C++ instead of PyCxx.

I do not mean to fork FreeCAD base, but some patch or preprocessor macro can switch between master branch and make it compilable as an independent dll. FreeCAD has such a great design, I just want to make the best use of it.

Thank you.
