Hmm... I thought I checked the LICENSE.txt in the 0.14 release tag
commit... We'll, I'm still having trouble getting FreeCAD to build. The new
version of cmake (2.8.12+) changed the number of required arguments to the
QT4_MOC_CREATE_COMMAND (or something like that) but even when I patch
around that there's another problem with qrc (QT resource files) not
getting generated in time. Some kind of dependency problem I think.
