Hi guys,

we recently passed through a process of removing all the remaining bits of
GPL code from FreeCAD.
All the scripts stated above (Draft, draftlibs, makeBottle, etc) have
either been converted to LGPL or
removed from the source. Next time you pull the code from us the warnings
above should al be gone.
 If something is still GPL, it is an error from our part, just notify us
and we'll fix it.

About SoQt, it is part of the coin3D library, which switched last year from
GPL to BSD. I noticed
that the latest package of coin (libcoin80) already shows the BSD license.
Maybe libsoqt4-20 needs
to be updated too to reflect the new license. I guess that would solve all
the remaining issues...

We're doing all we can to keep FreeCAD in debian, but it sometimes really
seems like an impossible task...
Thanks a lot Anton for the dedication you've put into this so far, nobody
can blame you if you
decide you've had enough.

Cheers to all,
Yorik
