Hadn't heard of the former. Definitely looks like it would bear investigation. Thanks for the tip! As for the latter, I have, of course, thought about it. But I'm not sure it would help. The problem is that if linc were modified to be under a GPL+exception license, then the resulting combination of linc+openssl would be subject to ssleay's annoying advertising clause, which in turn would make it incompatible with ORBit2's license. If ORBit2 were then to have _its_ license modified to allow the inclusion of ssleay, then the openssl+linc+orbit2 combo would be incompatible with any GPL'd apps using orbit2, and so on. GNUTLS definitely looks like the best way out. -- Chris Waters | Pneumonoultra- osis is too long [EMAIL PROTECTED] | microscopicsilico- to fit into a single or [EMAIL PROTECTED] | volcaniconi- standalone haiku -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
