Bug#464400: OpenCASCADE copyright/license audit



Greetings,

I've (finally) begun the arduous task of auditing the copyright(s)/
license(s) in OpenCASCADE.  Based on the number of files and
directories, this is bound to take a ton of time, so I'd appreciate some
help!  I've also solicited help on the OpenCASCADE forum, where I've
been discussing this with the Gentoo packagers.

I've put a brief start (6 of the 536 directories in ros/src) in:
http://www.opennovation.org/audits/opencascade-6.2.txt and will update
it as I and others work through this.  But before proceeding further, my
big question is: does this need any more information than it has?
Obviously the debian/copyright file will need the full text of all of
the licenses, but that's another matter.

Also, I built a new package based on the OpenBSD .tar.bz2 sources.  This
includes the audit file as debian/audit.txt and I'd like to make it the
basis of future packages.  One little hitch: as a Format 3.0 source
package, I don't think it can be uploaded before the lenny release
(because stable has to be able to unpack unstable sources).

Cheers,
-Adam
