Just for a little side-note: it is better to start new thread rather than replying in an old one when new subject is to be discussed.

Yes, definitely..

1. I know Ruud has made already an excellent contribution in the field of creating EAGLE libs for CBM (and related) parts. I use some of his libs too. I made some connectors (or rather imporoved upon Ruud's original versions) too.

2. I don't think licencing it in a commercially preventive way would do good to the project. I mean - nobody is going to get "filthy rich" selling CBM related stuff, is anyone? And if somebody wants a few quid for his hobby efforts, even if only to justify all the "useless waste of time" in the eyes of his wife [*] ;-) then I believe it is better to let him do this and maybe an interesting product will pop-up.

My two paragraphs (each worth $0.01) :-)
