It does have some complications. Most software seems to use a GPL
disclaimer/exception when using it. The libssh library is released
LGPL though. If it can be used with GNUTLS, that should solve that
issue. Robert On 02/11/2011 04:06 PM, Martin Koegler wrote: On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 02:22:04PM -0600, DRC wrote:Well, yes and no. libssh requires OpenSSL, right? That means we have to statically link with OpenSSL in order to produce cross-compatible binaries. Static linking with OpenSSL is, I can tell you from experience, not my favorite pastime. And now, if someone wants to build a full-featured version of TigerVNC, they need OpenSSL, libssh, GnuTLS, libgcrypt, libgpg-error, libtasn1. Yuck. I really want us to reduce some of the existing complexity before we start adding more.Isn't OpenSSL released under a GPL incompatible license?Regards, Martin Kögler ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
