Re: Linking and licensing question

I now have OCE approved and built, which uses a non-free license[2].
Both FreeCAD and SMESH[3] are GPL licensed individually but they also
both link against OCE.
If you want to link a GPL'ed application agains a non-free library the
license of the application needs
an exception to do so. Because you told, that the original upstream has
linked FreeCAD agains this non-free
library, I assume, that upstream has declared such an exception.
So the license tag shoud be 'GPL with exception' and the package can go
to the free branch
of rpmfusion.
