That's good news.  I was thrown by section 42.1, "Bulding Bacula with
Encryption Support" which says to use ./configure --with-openssl to
configure encryption (this is in the chapter on data encryption).

Does the on-disk encryption just happen to be controlled by the same
switch that activates openssl?  Or will on disk encryption work even
without that config option (the latter would be good news to me, since I
wouldn't need to rebuild the Debian package to get it).

Thanks for the info.  It's also very good news about the licensing.
