Open CASCADE Technology
Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) is a software development platform for 3D CAD, CAM, CAE, etc. that is developed and supported by OPEN CASCADE SAS. It is available under the "Open CASCADE Technology Public License" which the developer claims to be "LGPL-like with certain differences". Despite this claim, it is not listed as compatible with the GPL license by the publisher of the LGPL, the Free Software Foundation. The Debian project considers the license to meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines and has accepted Open CASCADE into its main archive after some debate .
In March 2011, the wording of the license was subtly changed. From then on, contributors are no more inclined but now advised to send their modifications of the source code back to Open CASCADE S.A.S.

Famous quotes containing the words open, cascade and/or technology:
“This is peace with dignity. This is peace with commitment. This is our gift to our peoples and the generations to come.... It will be real, as we open our hearts and minds to each other.”
—Bin Talal Hussein (b. 1935)
““End of tomorrow.
Don’t try to start the car or look deeper
Into the eternal wimpling of the sky: luster
On luster, transparency floated onto the topmost layer
Until the whole thing overflows like a silver
Wedding cake or Christmas tree, in a cascade of tears.””
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
