The FSF people have agreed that we add the following exception to
Wget's license to allow linking with OpenSSL. The lawyer blurb at the
beginning of every source file that explains about the GPL now
contains the following appendix:
In addition, as a special exception, the Free Software Foundation
gives permission to link the code of its release of Wget with the
OpenSSL project's "OpenSSL" library (or with modified versions of it
that use the same license as the "OpenSSL" library), and distribute
the linked executables. You must obey the GNU General Public License
in all respects for all of the code used other than "OpenSSL". If you
modify this file, you may extend this exception to your version of the
file, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do
so, delete this exception statement from your version.
This will be effective in Wget 1.9, as well as in Wget 1.8.2, which
will be released soon.
