My standard ssl-rejection template for that is: --8<------------------------schnipp------------------------->8--- while looking at your package in NEW I discovered that it is linking against openssl, itself beeing GPL licensed. Sorry, but this doesnt work, the OpenSSL license and the GPL are incompatible. For more information, and a link to give to your upstream please visit http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#LEGAL2 or/and http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html After this is fixed feel free to upload your package again. --8<------------------------schnapp------------------------->8--- Ie Upstream adding the exception from one of those two links is enough to make it work. -- bye Joerg (Irgendwo von heise.de): Jesus war ein typischer Student: - Lebte bis er 30 war bei den Eltern, - Hatte lange Haare - Wenn er mal was tat dann wars ein Wunder -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
