per Tom "Spot" Callaway and Red Hat Legal it is non-free, you should be
able to find the details in the archive of the fedora-legal mailing list
and/or OCC package review request in Fedora bugzilla.

OCC 6.3.0 is available from http://fedora.danny.cz/danny/ and it would
be nice to see OCC in a more official repo.

OpenCascade license?

2011-10-31 Thread Richard Shaw
I'm taking a shot a building FreeCAD since I'm a CAD jockey in my day
job and a "good" free CAD solution would be neat.

It has OpenCascade as a major dependency, which uses their own
license[1]. They claim it's LGPL-like. Would this have to go in free
or non-free?

Thanks,
Richard

Its warmed up, so most of the snow is melting, and we have a decent sized
generator keeping the heat, water, fridge and lights going, so its not too bad.
Now that I think about it, even when power comes back, I have no clue if my
internet connection is actually functional... The essentials are working though,
and I do still have mobile data service (plus, the office has full power).

Sorry to hear that! I hope the weather is cooperating so it's not too
intolerable.

If folks hadn't already heard, large portions of the northeastern united states
are without power right now, and that includes my house, so the builder has
been offline since Saturday, and it doesn't look like power will be back for at

I know ... I just deemed it an interesting comparison, although 
completely useless

which isn't a bad thing after all, because at least learn 
something

and 'make oldconfig' is such a wonderful command ...
