Ah, I see that this was added to the copyright:
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 had expected an explanation to be provided in bug report, if not in
the changelog; I had been holding off on the update out of concern that
this issue had not really been resolved (and in fact, I cannot currently
update links2 because a new enough libsdl1.2debian is not yet available;
I downloaded the .deb and extracted the copyright file manually).
I apologise if I seem whiny, but I would have appreciated a short note
explaining the licence change in the changelog.
I do appreciate your work on Debian.
Thanks,
