Hi - I just read the restrictions regarding GPL ruled packages dependent on OpenSSL.
They should be Restrictive _unless_ they link against the built-in
OpenSSL that comes with the OS. An exception is allowed in that case,
and people have been tending to want to utilize that option.
ah OK, thanks. in my case it seems one of the dependency (openldap-ssl) does
link to openssl097 itself so I guess the choice isn't mine. thanks for the info
all the same!
OTOH, openldap has a non-GPL but GPL-compatible, non-viral license,
which has no reason to be considered restrictive when combined with
openssl. But then this whole pissing contest between rival opensource
factions has always looked rather ridiculous to me.
