Ah, found it -- Debian KDE list, late July 2002: Konqueror doesn't link against OpenSSL. It runs a separate process (kcm_crypto, it looks like), which links against openssl... but does so in a way that *doesn't* invoke OpenSSL's advertising clause. Thus, the GPL prohibition on additional restrictions isn't invoked, and what KDE's doing is fine. -Brian
