*** Breaking news!!! ***

The upcoming Open CASCADE Technology version 6.7.0 will be licensed
under the GNU LGPL v2.1 (+ some minor additional permissions).

For further details, please read
http://bugs.debian.org/680738#27


What does this mean for bug #618968 ?
Once an LGPL-licensed oce lands in Debian and netgen depends on that
package, it will be possible to re-enable the linking with libav
libraries.

I am looking forward to seeing netgen link again with libav libraries.

Bye.
