The only changes since the last review (6.2) are: * An updated mailing address for Open CASCADE S.A.S. * A slightly reworded summary (which is not part of the license) * A typo fix in section 4 * Removal of items referencing the version of the license within the license itself So, no, this license is still non-free. I have updated the Fedora wiki with the 6.5 license. It is worth noting that in 2009, I was told by several people involved with Open CASCADE that it was their intent to work "toward a licence change. This licence will definitely be a standard license fully recognised by the oSS such as GPL/LPGL, just to keep it as simple as possible." However, that has clearly not happened. I suspect the fact that Ubuntu accepted opencascade into Universe, even though it is clearly non-free, is one of the reasons why they do not feel motivated to fix their license. ~tom == Fedora Project _______________________________________________ legal mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
