Taking an eye on a geek's blog I've found this interesting post:

BFsera-brl-cad-la-solucion-cad-para-los-linuxeros/ (in Spanish sorry :()

More or less says that brl-cad can be a perfect solution on GNU/Linux to

by the American Army and it's used by the NASA o.O

It seems to be free software, it uses a license which is a mix of the
LGPL and BSD:
