The LGPL license + exception is fine for Fedora. I believe opencascade
under this license has been part of Fedora since 2019.
Thanks,

There was a change of OCCT licence for version 6.7.0. It's LGPL
+
additional clause. The full text is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/Open_CASCADE_Technology_Public_L...
The additional clause:
Open CASCADE Exception (version 1.0) to GNU LGPL version 2.1.
The object code (i.e. not a source) form of a "work that uses the Library"
can incorporate material from a header file that is part of the Library. As
a special exception to the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1,
you may distribute such object code incorporating material from header
files provided with the Open CASCADE Technology libraries (including code
of CDL generic classes) under terms of your choice, provided that you give
prominent notice in supporting documentation to this code that it makes use
of or is based on facilities provided by the Open CASCADE Technology
software.
Is it a show stopper for fedora?
