As I said [1], I would really try hard and avoid removing the package
from Debian.
The true solution is: help me in persuading Open CASCADE S.A.S. to
re-license Open CASCADE Technology under GPLv2-and-v3-compatible terms.

Removing packages from Debian corresponds to surrendering (at least
temporarily). I would rather avoid this.

So once again: please get in touch with Open CASCADE S.A.S. and
persuade them to re-license under GPLv2-and-v3-compatible terms (such
as under GNU LGPL v2.1, possibly with additional permissions, if deemed
necessary).

I am convinced that this issue should be solved once and for all.
