This happened today!    :-)
http://www.opencascade.org/about/news/issue199/
http://www.opencascade.org/getocc/license/
http://www.opencascade.org/getocc/license/license_old/

Next steps are:

 1) a new version of OCE (Opencascade Community Edition) based on OCCT
6.7.0 will be released with all the changes (with respect to OCCT)
re-licensed under LGPL-2.1

 2) this new version of OCE will be packaged for Debian

 3a) a new version of package salome-gui depending on this new version
of package oce will close bug #680738

 3b) a new version of package elmer depending on this new version of
package oce will close bug #698527, re-enabling the building of
ElmerGUI, *as long as* the OpenSSL linking issue has been solved in the
meanwhile

 3c) a new version of package netgen depending on this new version of
package oce will re-enable the linking with libav libraries

 4) everyone will celebrate!   \o/


Bye!
