Taking an eye on a geek's blog I've found this interesting post:
http://www.puntogeek.com/2009/10/01/%C2%
BFsera-brl-cad-la-solucion-cad-para-los-linuxeros/ (in Spanish sorry :()

More or less says that brl-cad can be a perfect solution on GNU/Linux to
the commonly used AutoCAD. It has been developed for more than 20 years
by the American Army and it's used by the NASA o.O

It seems to be free software, it uses a license which is a mix of the
LGPL and BSD:
