In the latest IEEE Spectrum magazine there is an
article on page 24,
'Hands On - Why stop at breadboarding when custom PCBs are easy to
design and cheap to get made?', by James Turner.
Summary of this: He used Eagle to design/layout the board (which
seemed to be free), you have to do the trace routing manually, and
your pcb is 'batched' with others to keep the price way down.
There are some definite limits to the free eagle, there is a max size to the
PCB's. And if you are selling the resulting board, it's in violation of the
license (I asked, even if you aren't making a profit, it's a violation of
the license :( )
