(It is now on http://www.opencascade.org/getocc/license/ and at version 6.3, but with exactly the same content as 6.2.) We would all like to see FreeCAD in Fedora, but Fedora can not do anything until Open CASCADE makes a clear statement whether the license is free and GPL-compatible or not. It do not depend on the Fedora release schedule. As you can see on the forum thread Tom Callaway _has_ approached Open CASCADE and pointed out what the problem is. Debian (and Ubuntu?) explicitly considers Open CASCADE non-free but apparently makes a compromise with their own principles. Fedora makes no compromises regarding non-free software.
