I noticed that Debian now ships opencascade in their "main" section, not in
"non-free" anymore: http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/opencascade

>From Debian's changelog.txt:
  opencascade (6.3.0.dfsg.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [Denis Barbier]
  * New Upstream Version.  (closes: #501128)
  * Upstream replaced Triangle by a free implementation,
    thus external-triangle.patch is removed as well as
    dependencies against libtriangle-dev.
  * Remove ros/src/FontMFT/*.mft files, these font files
    have no sources.  (As a side effect, closes: #487116)
  * All non-free bits have thus been removed, and opencascade
    is moved from non-free into main.

The controversial "explanatory" paragraph which contradicted the terms of the
license (by requiring modifications to be sent to the initial developer) is not
present in the LICENSE file. (It's still present on the website though. See
http://www.opencascade.org/getocc/license/ )

See the *.copyright file from Debian:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/o/opencascade/opencascade_6.3.0.dfsg.1-3/libopencascade-dev.copyright
