Hi Bhaskar,

hmm, while looking at the Debian package, I found the following comment:
"The upstream V6.2-000 CMakeLists.txt file built only one of three
 possible encryption plugin libraries. This meant that the debian fis-gtm
 package was missing a core piece of the distributed binaries. Upstream will
 apply this change to the next release after internal review."

Further the Debian package contains:
  libgtmcrypt_openssl_BLOWFISHCFB.so
  libgtmcrypt_gcrypt_AES256CFB.so
  libgtmcrypt_openssl_AES256CFB.so

So at least the version in the Debian package is actually linked with OpenSSL.

As the OpenSSL license contains (advertising) restrictions[1] that are not allowed by the AGPL, the AGPL must be extended by an exception clause.
