Is PADS libre software? I ask because here's an itch.
I looked for myself and found PADS[*] is a product of Mentor Graphics.
yyep. absolutely awesome one, too. i'm recommending it constantly to people, not just in the libre world but also those who use proprietary tools as well. the learning curve is nowhere near as steep as with other proprietary tools. ORCAD is completely insane: 20 menus with over 30 options on each. totally user-hostile.
PADS: everything is context-sensitive, and the menu options show you a graphical representation (2D cutaway or overhead view) of what you just selected. absolutely superb.
Looks like a nice tool, but I guess I don't have to worry about submitting a patch. ;>)
love to... but ehhmmm.. no :)
