Not again (sigh)... If they could only make it less sound like blackmailing...

Anyway, currently I'm already working on Libgwenhywfar and most of the crypto 
stuff has already been ported to Libgcrypt (and that was no fun let me tell 
you).

What's left to do is to transform the SSL stuff to GnuTLS and this is on my 
TODO list.

However, I can't say when those changes will be finished, so the only 
immediate solution would be to add such an exception to your license.

<rant>
OpenSSL is OpenSource as is Gwenhywfar and all the other libraries used to 
make KMM or GnuCash support online banking.
Just to satisfy this particular viewpoint I had to port much of my code from a 
very well established, well tested and well developed library such as OpenSSL 
to a relatively new one: Libgcrypt, which is not too easy to port 
applications to, at least when it comes to asymmetric cryptography (partly 
due to the lack of documentation).
I don't think OpenSource was supposed to work that way...
</rant>


Regards
Martin
