FYI: KiCad is very good and is funded by CERN: [http://www.kicad-
pcb.org/](http://www.kicad-pcb.org/)

Licence is GPL3/AGPL3.

KiCad has high-end drawing features, but the commercial tools will always have
better parts libraries.

Editor here. This interview is a great example of a useful project emerging
from frustration and tinkering. Urban was unsatisfied with the proprietary
tools for making PCBs while building a quadcopter, and ended up making
something much bigger in the course of solving his own problem.
