On second thought, if a program is licensed under GPLv2 with an additional permission to link with OpenSSL, this permission does not survive linking with LGPLv2 libraries either, such as glibc or libidn before your relicensing. (The reason such linking is allowed by GPLv2 is that LGPLv2 section 3 allows converting to GPLv2+. The result of this conversion does not have the OpenSSL exception.) Therefore, I think you can ignore that problem. IIRC, the FSF used to recommend that OpenSSL license exceptions also grant explicit permission to link with LGPL libraries; however, I seem unable to find that recommendation now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
