Originally, I was focussing on interoperability among ASIC development
tools, which is still missing in other distributions.

This is a bit tricky due to its dependency on opencascade. OpenCascade
was blocked by Fedora Legal as despite the work done by Debian
developers is still not "free" compatible as explained on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458974

It seems this also affects Freecad.

Possibly they might enter rpmfusion instead:
