From their FAQ:
=============================
1) Is Open CASCADE Technology license GPL-compatible?

No, it is not. OPEN CASCADE Company uses its own custom license. 
However, it follows LGPL license in terms of its purpose and 
intent.

2) Can I distribute my software product using Open CASCADE 
Technology under GPL, LGPL or some other license (including 
proprietary)?

Yes, you can. However, you should always take into account the 
requirements of your Final Product license. In case the license 
of your Final Product is in any conflict with OCCT Public 
License, you need to make appropriate amendments to such Final 
Product license to resolve any contradictions. If in doubt and 
to avoid possible misunderstandings, please, contact us for 
advice, we will be happy to answer any questions you may have on 
this matter.
=============================


To clarify, repeat one sentence:
======
In case the license 
of your Final Product is in any conflict with OCCT Public 
License, you need to make appropriate amendments to such Final 
Product license to resolve any contradictions.
======


So ...  logical or??

GPL?  No.
LGPL?  Maybe.  I think so.
"some other license"?  just make sure ....

Does the "or" operation result in a positive answer to the 
question?  Yes.
