FreeCAD has many bundled libraries, this is using the system copies where it
seems reasonable but in some cases the upstream is not suitable (e.g. if FreeCAD
carries significant patches).

Comment 4 Mattia Verga 2026-06-13 15:48:44 UTC 
There is already another ongoing review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2386504
I suggest to chime in there and offer your help to bring back FreeCAD to Fedora repositories and co-maintain it.
