Hello, lynx can optionally be linked against GnuTLS' openssl compability wrapper library. The latest stable relases of GnuTLS (2.2.0) has a changed license:
- Main library continues to stay LGPLv2.1+ (the "+" meaning "or (at your option) any later version") - OpenSSL compability wrapper and PGP support is now GPLv3+ instead of GPLv2+. lynx' license is GPLv2 (without the "or later"-clause). Since now lynx and gnutls-openssl license are incompatible it will not be possible to distribute binaries of lynx linked against gnutls-openssl anymore. This is basically the same situation as with OpenSSL. I guess changing lynx' license is not feasible due to huge number of authors, therefore the only doable only solution I can think of is to convert lynx to use GnuTLS' native interface. cu andreas http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
