That's not correct. Remember the GPL has an exception for linking against a system's libraries. AFAIK, Linux distributions build git binaries on the grounds that their copy of openssl is system-provided. In that sense, we could distribute a copy of git that uses Apple's OpenSSL, but not one that uses MacPorts OpenSSL. The issue is well-covered, though - just google for openssl gpl. Remember IANAL and this isn't legal advice. -- Clemens Lang _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
