Bug#617613: FreeCAD & OCTPL

[Juergen Riegel]

  Hi together,
I'm, together with Werner, the maintainer of FreeCAD.
Based on the long history of license struggle with OCTPL I do not think 
they will change the license soon.
So I decided to go for GPL free for the 0.13 release of FreeCAD.
Fortunately Kongsberg, the company behind Coin3D, send a letter to all 
its paying customer that they decided
to discontinue the commercial Version and plan to release the source 
under BSD.  This switch and
the removal of smaller libs (e.g. PyQt) will remove all GPL dependencies 
of FreeCAD.

Unfortunately we have to wait for the Coin switch. But there is a 
solution to this problem!
