Hello, I am still a bit confused as to the problems with linking GPL code with OPENSSL. I don't intend to start any flame wars...
Please send CCs to me. Thanks. If there is somewhere I can find this information, URLs would be appreciated. 1. What is the problem? I have read the GPL, and cannot recall the problem. According to the top of /usr/doc/openssl/copyright, openssl has a dual BSD style license. I haven't heard of problems linking GPL code with BSD code before. So why is this different? 2. Is <URL:http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#LEGAL> wrong? ie. "the GPL does not place restrictions on using libraries that are part of the normal operating system distribution". I normally like the GPL, but I find it a bit irratating that I can't take some GPL program, and link it against Heimdal (which happens to be linked against OpenSSL), without express permission from all the copyright holders of the GPL software. In fact, I would argue that this goes against the goals of the GPL. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
