Wow, it looks like it is GPL compatible and DSFG (see
http://www.opencascade.com/discover/toask.html for thier notes on the
license)
This is exciting, getting real high end Engineering software libraries on
Linux is excellent, I hope someone packages this - Debian typically is
used in vertical specialty areas such as sciences and engineering.
My only question is, does anyone know what on earth it is? Near as I can
tell it is the core of a powerfull 3d modling package (ala Pro-Egineer,
Solid works and so on) These packages typically run in the 10s of
thousands of dollars!
