... and now you updated it: thank you very much!


However, I still see some files included in freecad and licensed under
the terms of the GNU GPL v2 or later.
If these files are linked with or incorporated into the program, the
Open CASCADE GPL-incompatibility is still an issue.

According to the current debian/copyright file
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=debian-science/packages/freecad.git;a=blob;f=debian/copyright;h=81ce65f6a88f3238b1d1cbe24baf36de05fe1608;hb=01b8f377dc5544c280f706b0a82984f8fd8a7ff4
the GPL-licensed files are:

Files: src/Mod/Draft/*

Files: src/Mod/Draft/draftlibs/dxf*

Files: src/Mod/Part/MakeBottle.py
       src/Tools/*


Please clarify whether these files are linked with or incorporated into
any program that links with Open CASCADE.


Moreover, I've just noticed that among the dependencies of freecad
there's

 libsoqt4-20

which is licensed under the GNU GPL v2:
http://ftp-master.metadata.debian.org/changelogs//main/s/soqt/soqt_1.5.0-2.1_copyright


Please clarify whether this library is linked with any program that
links with Open CASCADE.


Thanks for your time.
