Seth, There maybe licensing issues involved with this. OpenCascade is licensed using LGPL v2.1 not v2.1[1] or later. LGPL v2.1 is not compatible with GPL 3[2]. If OpenCascade is willing to change their license LPGL 2.1 or later or if this is just an oversight on their part, than I can include this patch. Please verify the OpenCascade license with something that I can verify to ensure we are not violating and licensing terms.
