locked out of design?

autodeskguest

On a newsgroup a question regarding PCB software was asked, and Eagle

suggested. However, this comment was also made:

 

"One reason for avoiding Eagle is their policy of locking you out of

your design if you inadvertently include a part that was designed with a

pirated copy."

 

I've checked various places (including here) and seen no mention - is

this statement accurate?

    I think this was an issue with one user a few years ago.

     

    Apparently he took a design  that was originally made in a cracked version

    of eagle, edited it with his legit version but then could not access the

    file again.

     

    The user then went into a huff when Cadsoft refused to help out with the issue.

     

     

    cheers
