Source: percona-xtradb-cluster-server-5.5 Version: Percona XtraDB Cluster lacks documentation of OpenSSL exception to GPL Severity: normal
OpenSSL cannot be linked to from GPL code without the authors providing an exception to clause 6 of the GPL, since the OpenSSL license imposes restrictions incompatible with the GPL. This is why MySQL does not link against OpenSSL. CYaSSL was recently accepted into Debian unstable, and is available for use as a standard shared library. Percona XtraDB Cluster should build and link against that, as it is GPL compatible, or the license exception should be documented in debian/copyright. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers trusty-updates APT policy: (500, 'trusty-updates'), (500, 'trusty-security'), (500, 'trusty'), (100, 'trusty-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.13.0-35-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
