I'd like to package OpenCASCADE, which was formerly under a non-free
license, but starting from version 6.7.0 it has been relicensed under LGPL
v2.1 plus an exception. The full license is at:
http://www.opencascade.org/getocc/license/
Here's the exception text, from the bottom of that page:
Open CASCADE Exception (version 1.0) to GNU LGPL version 2.1.
The object code (i.e. not a source) form of a "work that uses the Library"
can incorporate material from a header file that is part of the Library. As
a special exception to the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1,
you may distribute such object code incorporating material from header
files provided with the Open CASCADE Technology libraries (including code
of CDL generic classes) under terms of your choice, provided that you give
prominent notice in supporting documentation to this code that it makes use
of or is based on facilities provided by the Open CASCADE Technology
software.
Is this acceptable for Fedora? Is the appropriate license tag "LGPLv2 with
exceptions"?
Thanks!
Eric
