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.

This means:
* Your copyright file is incomplete and misses the 'you are allowed to
link against OpenSSL'-clause. If so, please add it.
* You accidently removed the '--without-ssl'-flag from the configure
call. If so, please re-add it.
Independent of which solution is right, the current package is
undistributable as it is now, please fix it asap.
Regards,
Daniel
