Hi all.
Does anybody know about this news? Seems encouraging, even though the licence
is probably the usual puzzle.

This Release Candidate version of the DWF Toolkit 7 provides: APIs for reading
and writing 3D DWF from any application, simplified 2D interfaces, and
cross-platform support (Windows, Mac, Linux). Use the DWF Toolkit to build
applications that create and view 2D and 3D DWFs, object properties, DWF
Composer markups, and more... This toolkit allows you to develop applications
that read or write multi-sheet 2D or 3D drawings in DWF format.
The toolkit contains C++ libraries that aid in the generation, reading, and
parsing of DWF files. You can use it to work with DWF files without having to
understand their complete underlying data format. This toolkit contains
support for the DWF file as defined with the release of AutoCAD 2006.

I'm not well versed in these things, but this clause may not meet the
Debian Free Software Guidelines:
1.1.1 (a) Use the Licensed Software for development, research, internal,
educational, or commercial purposes;
I think it may discriminate against fields of endeavor not explicitly
listed here. Can a non-profit use it?
I don't know if there's any relationship between DWF and DXF, but I
noticed that DXF import/export is a Google Summer of Code project for
Inkscape (http://inkscape.org/)
