Hooray! (LGPL version 2.1 + exception ("License: LGPLv2 with exceptions"),
to be precise.) Finally a Free Software 3D CAD solution.

However, that is unfortunately NOT true! Only OCE 0.15 and higher (current
git master) have the new license. The current stable 0.14.1 is still
licensed under the old proprietary license. OpenCascade 6.7.0 was imported
only after OCE 0.14 was branched.

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.
