CoinUpdate.patch

The attached patch applies to 
graphics/Coin
x11-toolkits/soqt
x11-toolkits/SoXt

Coin and soqt have recently been changed to GPLv2 LICENSE in error.

Historically these were released under a dual gpl/commercial license.
From 1st November 2011 the source code for these was moved to bitbucket and re-licensed under the BSD 3-clause license.

The ports mentioned here had been removed to bitbucket and there has been some changes in the commit list including the LICENSE. But unfortunately there has not been any distfile released based on the new source. The versions mentioned in the Makefiles are the last released version which were released under GPLv2. So until new versions are released under the new LICENSE scheme the LICENSE should be GPLv2 not BSD3CLAUSE.
