Please let me be clear and explicit on this: I would not be happy at
all, if freecad were removed from Debian!
That's why I have struggled for years and I am still struggling to
solve this issue for the best (that is, by persuading Open CASCADE
S.A.S. to re-license under the GNU LGPL v2.1).
If nobody helps me, I am afraid that removal from Debian will have to
be the only way out. But it would be a very sad way out.
So, please, contact Open CASCADE S.A.S. and persuade them to switch to
the GNU LGPL v2.1!

Apart from pestering Open CASCADE S.A.S. and have them make up their
minds, that is!

I agree, but with
s/the project approves it/we succeed in persuading Open CASCADE S.A.S.
to re-license under the GNU LGPL v2.1/
I cannot stress it more than this: I need other people to contact Open
CASCADE S.A.S. !
We have to show them that really many people ask for this switch to the
GNU LGPL v2.1 !
