So the point is that FreCAD can be distributed ad GPL3 with Assembly3 and the solver.
Only as addon, and to be honest, i think that is also only a gray area, but i am not an expert. At least the user must force something and it is not default.

The question is... the need for a stable assembly WB with a widely tested solver is less important then having a LGPL sw?
That is the point! And for companies, that is crux, especially, they are
maybe one of the biggest user of it. In small companies or working shacks, this does not matter. But for middle or big companies, then they can not install something, just because they want something, also no addons, IF they even have access to the internet (this is not always given!). Besides to a CAD, there should be an assembly per default installed (not speaking from commercial CADs, where there this is sometimes an extra license), and FreeCAD seems to be mature enough, to get one per default.
