I have checked into CVS the license changes which explicitly allow linking with OpenSSL. If anybody would like to inspect these changes, here are some sample files:
http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/hpoj-cvs/LICENSE http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/hpoj-cvs/LICENSE.OpenSSL http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/hpoj-cvs/apps/cmdline/ptal-connect.c http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/hpoj-cvs/apps/xojpanel/xojpanel.cpp http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/hpoj-cvs/apps/xojpanel/xojpanel.h One potential problem I found was that lib/sane/saneopts.h, which I copied from sane-backends for purposes of compiling the hpoj SANE backend, has a pure GPL license. It consists largely of string #defines, and I don't know if it violates the GPL to link OpenSSL with code which includes it. Most of sane-backends contains a very permissive exception permitting all sorts of otherwise-GPL-forbidden linking, so I don't think the SANE folks would have a problem with this, but I'm surprised they didn't apply it to this file as well. If this matters to anybody, then please work with its copyright holders to have the exception added to this file, and then I'll pull down a new copy for a future hpoj version. Let me know ASAP if there are any problems I need to fix before releasing hpoj-0.90. If nothing comes up then I plan to start the release process approximately 12-24 hours from now. Thanks for everybody's patience and cooperation in this matter. David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
