Bug#702193: Bug#617613: freecad in fact does not link to incompatible libraries



[Added upstream support address to CC]

Hi,

Coin3D developers - this relates to a license issue in the Debian Linux distribution concerning the linking of Coin3D to code licensed in a GPL-incompatible manner. Later releases of Coin3D were relicensed under a BSD license, but it is unclear whether this applies to earlier releases of the code.

Please could you confirm whether you consider version 3.1.3 to be released under the BSD-style license as well, or if this version is still covered by the GPL license it was originally released under?

Looking again at coin3-library and trying to get a newer version, I
realized, that the latest available version is the same as in
Debian, 3.1.3. This version, seems, has been released in 2010,
when the license was GPL.

The last commit into VCS was in December 2011, one of them - changing
the headers to BSD-license [3]. But after that time there was no release.
And, it seems, the project is abandoned.

Regards,

Adam
