Yes, I agree, assuming that the Coin3D re-licensing also covers SoQT (actually, I still see GPL headers on http://doc.coin3d.org/SoQt/files.html , hence it's probably worth asking for a clarification from the SoQT upstream copyright holders). > > We're doing all we can to keep FreeCAD in debian, Sure, and many people (including me) are really thankful for this! Cheers! Note (mainly to myself): the remaining issues to be solved are • SoQT (and the corresponding Debian source package soqt) is still GPL-licensed, despite the Coin3D re-licensing to BSD • any remaining GPL-licensed files included in FreeCAD (and the corresponding Debian package freecad) need to be removed or re-licensed to LGPL • the debian/copyright file of freecad needs to be updated (again) -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
