I'm not sure. I still haven't gotten ChrootCompile to work properly so I can't test without disabling OpenSSL which would break a lot of things. But a quick look at the licenses (Python and OpenSSL) they don't seem incompatible. The only problem I see is a GPL program embedding python which then can't use urllib2 for https: connections. The biggest problem for GoboLinux is the advertising clause which I don't think we're following. The license requires specific verbage when mentions use of the software and features. So anywhere we provide a package list (wiki) we need to add that verbage. -- Carlo J.
