Package: links2 Severity: serious Hi Guerkan,
as the others may not know, we did both send mails several times to links2 upstream last year, begging for the linking-against-OpenSSL permission for this GPL-only licensed links2. Unfortunately, we did not succeed due to a very uncooperative upstream, which did not value our efforts at all (he was even claiming, that linking against libssl is not forbidden by the GPL at all, especially since there is no court desicion on that). However, you (and others) may understand, that I am really suprised with links2 2.1pre21-1 which 'suddenly' links against libssl. ---snipp--- (i386_unstable)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ldd /usr/bin/links2 linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libtiff.so.4 => /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 (0x4001d000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x40072000) libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0x40092000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x400b7000) libSDL-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 (0x400cb000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x4015b000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x4016d000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4017b000) libdirectfb-0.9.so.22 => /usr/lib/libdirectfb-0.9.so.22 (0x40246000) libfusion-0.9.so.22 => /usr/lib/libfusion-0.9.so.22 (0x40290000) libdirect-0.9.so.22 => /usr/lib/libdirect-0.9.so.22 (0x40295000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0x4029f000) libvga.so.1 => /usr/lib/libvga.so.1 (0x402a3000) libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0x40303000) libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0x40342000) libgpm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 (0x4047c000) libpcre.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3 (0x40482000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x404b1000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x404d7000) libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 (0x4060f000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) (i386_unstable)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ---snapp--- This means: * Your copyright file is incomplete and misses the 'you are allowed to link against OpenSSL'-clause.
