     18'''2. AutoCAD DWG OGR Driver based on libredwg.''' Note that libredwg development seems to be stalled, but the original library, [http://libdwg.sourceforge.net/en/index.html libdwg], that served as a starting point for libredwg has seen some recent activity in late 2013. Some review of status would be appropriate before committing. This would be an alternative to the more proprietary Open Design Alliance library based driver.

    2020Currently GDAL support AutoCAD DWG file via Open Design Alliance Teiga library which is not freely available and has strict license. There is a project libredwg (GNU GPL v3) which provide DWG support (R13, R14 and R2000 version). Need to rewrite (http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_dwg.html) or write the new driver for DWG.
