When Farnell bought CADsoft I wondered whether they would be creating 
Eagle parts for all their components. 8-)

It'll be interesting to see who wins, RS with free software or Farnell 
with Eagle. OK, there is a free version of Eagle, but it's rather 
limited and that and some of the lower-cost versions shouldn't be used 
for commercial work, IIRC. There isn't any such restriction with 
DesignSpark.
