## AI overview

ReactOS announces that LibreCAD has joined its Open Source Support Program as the first member. The program supports software projects using free or open source licenses and provides special attention intended to maintain compatibility with ReactOS.

## Source excerpt

Computer Aided Design software has long been the bastion of proprietary vendors such as Autodesk and SolidWorks where license seats tend to run into the thousands of dollars, putting them well out of reach of enthusiasts and hobbyists. It has only been recently that software for design work has become more accessible and in many ways this accessibility has helped spawn the entire Maker revolution that is happening now. The ReactOS Project is therefore very pleased to see LibreCAD join as the first member of the Open Source Support Program.
