--- Begin Message ---Source: kde-runtime Version: 4:4.13.1-1 Severity: serious Tags: sid jessie Hi, The file /usr/lib/kde4/kio_sftp.so links against libssh which in turn links against openssl. Since the sftp code whichs links to libssh is licensed under the GPL, it needs a license exception to allow the linking. Alternatively you could prod bug #676650 which would provide an alternate libssh built against gnutls.

--- Begin Message ---Hi, After some discussion on #debian-devel, there seemed to be consensus that the LGPL doesn't conflict with the openssl license. Personally, I think this is not the case (the conflicting point 6 in the GPL is verbatim copied in LGPL as point 10), but as long as debian-legal is ok with the consensus I'm ok with it. (I'm ccing the debian-legal ml to receive some input if this is not ok). From the bug management side, this bug should either stay closed because the sftp plugin isn't installed anymore or because it was an invalid request. Whatever the case, it shouldn't be reopened, so I'm closing this bug now. Discussing new issues on old bugs tends to get messy, for this case, where it is not clear what the bug actually is, we would prefer to discuss it through the debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org ml. Readding the sftp plugin should be done in #759254 together with the next release.
