If introducing back GPL-licensed code into freecad worries you, then you should get in touch with the copyright holders for the needed code and persuade them to re-license it under more permissive terms (LGPL v2.1, for example). I think that downloading code and executing it should really be avoided. Besides the already mentioned security issues, it also makes freecad less usable on an isolated box... > > Anyway, thanks a lot to you guys for helping with a solution! > > This is the reference to this bug on the freecad bug tracker: > http://freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=1785 > > I'll post back here as soon as we solve it. I am not convinced that this bug is being addressed in the right direction: please reconsider the possible strategies to _avoid_ downloading code, as discussed above... Thanks for your time.
