Hello, I believe we have a licensing issue with the crypto implementation in Wine and would like feedback relating to this. I know that some of the OpenSSL developers monitor this list so please provide feedback.
The first question is in regards to the following: Clause 3 of OpenSSL license: * 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this * software must display the following acknowledgment: * "This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project * for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit. (http://www.openssl.org/)" This stipulation seems to introduce a incompatibility with the GPL. For normal Wine this is not a big deal but if someone wants to make a Winelib application that is GPL or if I want to take Wines Wininet and Adavapi32 code in to ReactOS this presents a problem. Am I correct in reading it this way? If I am correct and it is incompatible with with GPL then would any of the Wine developers object to changing out crypto implementation to use NSS from Mozilla? I have spoken with the developers of Network Security Services for Mozilla and it has recently been tri-licensed MPL/LGPL/GPL on CVS tip. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ >From the what I understand this lib provides everything we need so all it really means is that our soft dependency on OpenSSL in now a soft dependency on Mozilla. If we want to use the webbrowser module in Wine then a Mozilla dependency will be there already so we might as well use the security implementation while we are at it.
