This doesn't look like an issue to me if all we need to do is add the following to the GPL license:
* In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders give * permission to link the code of portions of this program with the * OpenSSL library under certain conditions as described in each * individual source file, and distribute linked combinations * including the two. * You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects * for all of the code used other than OpenSSL. If you modify * file(s) with this exception, you may extend this exception to your * version of the file(s), but you are not obligated to do so. If you * do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your * version. If you delete this exception statement from all source * files in the program, then also delete it here.
I'll raise this issue on the members list and get back to you.
FYI: I never heard back from Kevin Ruddy @ Powerdog on our strptime.c conflict. I'll try one more time and if I get no reponse we'll move to another strptime implemenation.
Thanks Robert.

Hi list..
as the debian maintainer of htdig I am responsible for its presence in debian, but I am also the first-hand support guy to contact when there is a bug.
A while ago, there was the enable htdig to support SSL ('https') requests, which to my knowledge is only possible using the OpenSSL library. Htdig 3.1.6 is license under the GPL, V2, the 3.2.0 branch will sail under LGPL..
While this is technically no problem, there seem to be licensing issues.
Could you look at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=133086
and tell me whether it would be possible to find a solution similar to
http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html
Thanks
