Bug#694975: release.debian.org: Wheezy-ignore tag for freecad and netgen

[Anton Gladky <gladky.anton@gmail.com>]

Hi Adam,

thanks for looking into this bug. VCS of coin3d  has a COPYING file, which
is clearly BSD-license [1]. So this version should be packaged to fix
the license issue properly. The current version of coin is GPL [2].

Thanks

Anton
