COLLADA importer

Hey… I haven’t seen anything more recent than this mentioning Collada in the forums. I’m wondering whether there has been any work on a non-FCollada importer, since FCollada seems to have been changed to closed-source since 3.05. (according to Feeling Software’s site it costs money now)

ThomasEgi mentioned in IRC that you might be working on a non-FCollada importer. Has there been any progress on this? If not, I was thinking that OpenCOLLADA might be a good basis for such a converter.
