Hi folks, There are few very good news related to licensing of libraries used by Elmer:
1) OpenCASCADE libraries were relicensed under LGPL-2.1 [1] in the last stable release 6.7.0, so now they are compatible with GPL-licensed libraries linked to ElmerGUI (for example, with libav*). 2) Next OCE (OpenCASCADE Community Edition) release (0.15) will be based on OpenCASCADE 6.7.0 and will be relicensed under LGPL-2.1 as well [2]. Once packages with OCE will be updated to version 0.15, package with ElmerGUI will be reintroduced in Debian and Ubuntu. 3) tetgen library was relicensed under AGPLv3 since version 1.5.0 [3] and now is compatible with software under GPL-3+. If I understand correctly, you may just update tetgen-related files in your repo and use them without license issues. After that tetgen-plugin will be able to be enabled in Debian and Ubuntu packages.
