Hello,

     The KDE project as of version 2.0 now uses OpenSSL for the builtin 
webbrowser, and soon for pop3, ftp, smtp and maybe other services too.  
However, we have been receiving many complaints about using OpenSSL because 
apparently the FSF is telling everyone that it's illegal to use OpenSSL with 
GPL'd code.  (I have emails here if you need to see these)  Anyhow, is there 
any chance of OpenSSL being released under GPL, or failing that, under a BSD 
style licence without the advertising clause?  We were told that this would 
be enough.  Anyhow, I hate dealing with licencing, so please excuse my 
ignorance.  And don't shoot the messenger... :)

Thanks
