Greetings, I am seeking clarification on licensing, judging from OpenVPN 2.5.X (meaning latest 2.5).
1. mbedTLS licensing compatibility. AFAICS, mbedTLS is currently under dual Apache License 2.0 and GPLv2, https://tls.mbed.org/download - while OpenVPN is under GPLv2-only license (not the "or any later version") clause, as of 2.5.4, where the mbedTLS future license will be Apache License 2.0 only - this will be incompatible with GPLv2 but not GPLv3. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list#apache2 2. LZO vs. LibreSSL. As far as I can see, Markus FXJ Oberhumer granted a license to link LZO with OpenSSL, but not any other library under the OpenSSL license, so I take it that LibreSSL and LZO cannot be combined into one OpenVPN link, unless LibreSSL ships as part of the operating system (that's a coarse rewording of the GPLv2 clause 3). Are there any further licenses or permissions (= restriction exceptions) granted to OpenVPN that I have missed and am unaware of? Any other license incompatibilities that the public should be aware of?
