grep for "Who", read the answer loudly.

Those stencils were available for about 15 years. About 5 years ago
I've asked Cisco Systems to clarify what's the "license" for it and in
a few weeks they replied to me directly and put a notice on the web
site, the one which later was transformed into Q/A.

Does it imply "you cannot make shapes/sheets yourself in Visio"?

Did you try to make sheets in Dia, seriously?

I would offer $20 to the first one who publish screencast of doing
WS-X6748-GE-TX faceplate from scratch in Dia using Dia's tools and
asking for help about how to do it on this list, but I doubt anybody
will even try.

I can describe different ways to convert VSS to SVGs though, for
anybody who are not ready to waste their life re-doing everything
yourself.
