  We exchanged several emails. What fun! All of this is a great example of why the concept of Creative Commons licensing is important. We knew what our use rights were AND we had information about the data creator.

• PCB-GCode Phorum
  Pcb-gcode lets you use your milling machine, router, engraver, etc. to make printed circuit boards without using toxic chemicals. You create your design with Eagle, then use pcb-gcode to create g-code, which you run on your machine. Your machine cuts around the traces for the circuits. pcb-gcode also creates drill files to drill holes, mill files to cut the board out, or make cutouts in the board. You can also create files to engrave text on the boards, such as your copyright, component names, etc. Did I mention it is free? There is a free version of Eagle to.

  On the last day, they gathered for a group photo. They were videogame programmers, artists, level builders, artificial-intelligence experts. Their team was — finally — giving up, declaring defeat, and disbanding. So they headed down to the lobby of their building in Garland, Texas, to smile for the camera. They arranged themselves on top of their logo: a 10-foot-wide nuclear-radiation sign, inlaid in the marble floor.
