Yes, my first attempt to get in touch with Open CASCADE S.A.S. used
their web site contact form.
And it was a successful attempt.

Sure, one employee replied to me shortly after.
Since then, I went on talking with him and, later on, with a second
employee, directly via e-mail.

Unfortunately, they keep saying that the decision is being
postponed (again and again and again...) and nothing seems to
really progress on this front.
Which is very frustrating!   :-(

No, I didn't.

I am under the impression that OCE (OpenCASCADE Community Edition)
is a project to enhance Open CASCADE Technology with external
contributions not (yet) accepted by Open CASCADE S.A.S. into the
official OCCT releases.
It is my understanding that OCE is an unofficial project maintained and
coordinated outside Open CASCADE S.A.S.

Please correct me, if I am wrong.

I think there are plenty.
For instance:

http://www.opencascade.org/org/forum/thread_15042/?forum=3
http://www.opencascade.org/org/forum/thread_15859/?forum=3
http://www.opencascade.org/org/forum/thread_20298/?forum=3

http://dev.opencascade.org/index.php?q=node/31

I see that you opened a new forum thread about the OCTPL:
http://dev.opencascade.org/index.php?q=node/525

Thank you very much: any help is greatly appreciated (at least
by me).
