All those packages need the OpenSSL exception. The other solution is to link them against GNU TLS (which is possible because they are licensed under GPL, as well as the OpenSSL compatibility wrapper). We also have packages that linked against OpenSSL and against GPL libraries without OpenSSL exception. This is not authorized. An example is Python which is linked to libssl and to libreadline. We have GPL packages that link against packages linked to OpenSSL. For example, quagga was linked to libsnmp which is linked to libssl. quagga has handled this issue by disabling SNMP support (which is a pity). There are other packages in this case. Those licensing issues are a mess. I think that the problem should be raised after lenny. Right now, people are focused to lenny. I have tried to raise the problem with Python without any success. -- I AM SO VERY TIRED I AM SO VERY TIRED I AM SO VERY TIRED -+- Bart Simpson on chalkboard in episode AABF20
