Just for the record, cups can be built against different libs:

  --enable-cdsassl        use CDSA for SSL/TLS support, default=first
  --enable-gnutls         use GNU TLS for SSL/TLS support, default=second
  --enable-openssl        use OpenSSL for SSL/TLS support, default=third

I'm not entirely sure what CDSA is, but I don't think we have it
packaged. We can build it against OpenSSL, but I understand that
OpenSSL can't be linked to GPL programs either?

Thanks,

Martin
