Now that you mention it, I remember that I was kind of aware of this, but I thought that option (C) was nevertheless worth mentioning, since people sometimes change their mind after some time. Make no mistake, I understand the point of view of Coin3D copyright holders perfectly (they probably chose the GPL exactly to prevent their library from being mixed or linked with GPL-incompatible code...). Anyway, as I stated in the bug report, the most desirable solution is option (A), so, please, help me in persuading Open CASCADE S.A.S! -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
