That's not quite true. It's being removed from most BSD sources. But as long as it's in any of the files, it still applies. However, OpenSSL != BSD and it still uses such a clause. Anyway, as also mentioned in the OpenSSL FAQ this isn't much of a problem since OpenSSL is part of the base distribution of all BSDs and even many (most?) Linux distros. The GPL allows linking against such libraries. OpenSSL would be less of dependency issue than GNU TLS - IMHO. Anyhow, if you want to use GNU TLS, get someone to write the code. -- Christian
