coin3d is in Wheezy under GPL-2 license [1]. It links now with
liboce-* libraries,
which are GPL-incompatible.

According to their VCS [2] and previous information [3] the license will be
(and is in VCS) BSD:
"the company behind Coin3D, send a letter to all
its paying customer that they decided
to discontinue the commercial Version and plan to release the source
under BSD." [3]
If you think, it is not suitable for wheezy, let me know, I will request a
removing of freecad from Wheezy.
Thanks,
Anton
