Summary0033865: Configuration - Add exception about static libraries to OCCT license
DescriptionOCCT allows to create static version of libraries, however it does not allow to use them in any kind of project except LGPL ones which makes OCCT quite impractical and makes features like webassembly merely a toy.

OCCT license represents a modification of the general LGPL license and adds some exceptions to it.

Add exception about static libraries like some open source projects do.

e.g. to use, copy, link, modify and distribute under own terms the binary object code of combined work of something like this.
TagsNo tags attached.

OCCT offer that type of exception commercially.
Open Source already allowed to use static linking. Private/closed code (including WebAssembly) is not allowed by default.
To request exception to use in WebAssembly - send a request with contact us form: https://occt3d.com/
