It appears as of OpenCascade 6.7.0 (OCE 0.14) that it is now gpl licensed.
I need to double check but I think that means that this can now move to
Fedora proper.
When I get a chance I'll start a review request for OCE and freecad on
Fedora.
Reviewers to get this moved along would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard

Hooray! (LGPL version 2.1 + exception ("License: LGPLv2 with exceptions"),
to be precise.) Finally a Free Software 3D CAD solution.
(OCE 0.14)
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.

As far as I can tell, it has been relicensed by the copyright holder, so
there should be nothing preventing it from entering Fedora anymore. But only
git master, or version 0.15 and higher when released, can be imported into
Fedora, NOT 0.14.x or older.

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.

Ok, I posted the question to the oce dev list and indeed OCE will not be
GPL licensed until 0.15 due around February.

I can help you resolve that, but I need to see what exactly is going wrong
(e.g., the offending build.log).

I figured it out, or at least fixed it. Cmake changed the macros in some
way that Freecad is abusing (copying) to produce cpp instead of cxx files.
I don't know why that's hardcoded. I recopied the current cmake macros into
the Freecad version changing the hardcoded extension to cpp and it works
again.
Thanks,
Richard
