Comment on What software are you using for CAD/modeling?

OnShape. If you’re familiar with Fusion360, OnShape requires almost no additional learning. Workflows are pretty much the exact same. It’s free under the guise that everything you make is OnShapes IP. But if you’re looking to model casually and aren’t making things you wish to patent, it’s great.
Not open source if that’s a requirement.

This sounds insanely predatory and messed up. Is this not as absolutely nuts as it sounds? O.o
Just make a tool, and take someone else’s work with that tool as your own? For real? This sounds really sus.
Yes, that’s the deal. Pay for it or give up your stuff
Ya agree with ya there

I think the free version is more nuanced then that. By using the free version you agree to:
1.Use it for non commercial projects.
2 Place your designs in the public domain for anyone to use. Any design created from a free account is made public and may be used by others.
I didn’t dig too deep so I’m not sure what restraints are placed on anyone using your design.
But at no point is Onshape claiming ownership of your design.
