--- Comment #32 from John Morris <john@xxxxxxxxxxx> ---
The license is LGPLv2.1, with a special exception [1].  Setting blocks FE_LEGAL
to double-check the License: tag.  (Please see below, and comment 25 above.)

Since the OCCT license is unacceptable to Fedora, does the exception have any
additional meaning as far as what software it may be combined with, or should
this software simply be treated as LGPLv2.1 as far as Fedora packaging is
concerned?  Should the License: tag read just "LGPLv2" or "LGPLv2 with
exceptions"?

There is a promising project to create a CAM module for FreeCAD.  They are
considering combining some GPLv3 libraries.  Doing so would violate this
software license, correct?

Also, the file "OCCT_LGPL_EXCEPTION.txt" should be added to %files as %doc.

Thanks!
