Bug#702193: Bug#617613: freecad in fact does not link to incompatible libraries

Looking again at coin3-library and trying to get a newer version, I
realized, that the latest available version is the same as in
Debian, 3.1.3. This version, seems, has been released in 2010,
when the license was GPL.

The last commit into VCS was in December 2011, one of them - changing
the headers to BSD-license [3]. But after that time there was no release.
And, it seems, the project is abandoned.

Of course, I will grab and package the VCS-version to solve a license
problem, but for the time being, from my point of view, #617613 is not
relevant any more. And it would be nice to get a wheezy-exception-tag
for freecad.

I'm a little confused here, so apologies if I'm missing something. Are you suggesting that we can distribute the copy of coin3 in wheezy under a BSD license? If not then the wheezy copy still appears to be undistributable.

(This is of course also on the assumption that we accept that a codebase released under the GPL can subsequently be blanket-relicensed as BSD.)
