[Fink-devel] Re: [Fink-users] fink update-all fails.

2004-05-01 Thread Ben Hines
Still a long-time bug in the packaging of db42, which needs to be fixed 
at some point, if anyone feels like figuring out why it happens by 
debugging the dependency resolver.

Hmm. The root certificates are IMHO, facts. There's only one set of 
root certificates-- or at least there should be, else the  whole system 
of trust chains would fall apart. I.e Debian gets a certificate from a 
organization which certifies  that the holders of the Debian private 
key is Debian, and that certifying organization gets a certificate from 
someone else who is in turn certifed by another, until the root is 
found. Theoretically, someone could publish an additional root 
certificate, and if a user were naive enough to trust that root 
certificate,  malicious individuals could pass themselves off as 
various entities deserving as trust. So, copyrighting and licensing a 
set of "root certificates" would seem to be counterproductive.

Nevertheless, these particular ssl certificates are distributed along 
with copyrightable, and thus licensable source code. If fink were to 
distribute this additional code, it would be bound by the BSD license, 
as that's what I believe modssl uses. On the other hand, if fink were 
to distribute a the ca-roots-*deb only, it could distribute it without 
being bound by a license.  But if fink did distribute such a binary 
package, without mentioning mod_ssl, then users would not have any 
particular reason to trust the integrity of those root certificates.
