Hi Clemens, I did a bit of research and looks like this issue has been discussed before:
* https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-8886 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mongodb/+bug/1175028 In response to that, the MongoDB license has been explicitly modified to allow linking with OpenSSL: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/commit/8d5e83075ed1ffc989b4e04ec981fc5355f0f9e7 Here's the relevant part that can be seen in some of their source files: As a special exception, the copyright holders give permission to link the > code of portions of this program with the OpenSSL library under certain > conditions as described in each individual source file and distribute > linked combinations including the program with the OpenSSL library. You > must comply with the GNU Affero General Public License in all respects > for all of the code used other than as permitted herein. If you modify > file(s) with this exception, you may extend this exception to your > version of the file(s), but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not > wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version. If you > delete this exception statement from all source files in the program, > then also delete it in the license file.
