Bug#764814: freecad downloads and executes code

Hi

Thanks a lot for that example D, it is indeed much simpler than I
thought...
I change my mind, this now seems a very good solution ;) Would it be
enough, though? The final user won't be able to judge... Maybe
popping up a dialog the first time, explaining what will happen, would
be a good thing to add too, just for correctness.

But, above all, the good news is that OpenCASCADE is no longer

Francesco, that is true, but all the solving of the license problems has
been a big headache, I think we all prefer to stay on the safe side now...

Anyway, thanks a lot to you guys for helping with a solution!

This is the reference to this bug on the freecad bug tracker:
http://freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=1785

I'll post back here as soon as we solve it.

Cheers
Yorik
