Looking at it a little closer I actually don't see why barada should link to openssl at all, it doesn't do any transport-layer security and is just using the crypto primitives from openssl: openssl/rand.h and openssl/hmac.h -- pretty straightforward crypto primitives that are provided by gcrypt. Although it is not the same API (and the header files aren't named the same), they are conceptually equivalent, so I think that the right thing to do in this case would be to use gcrypt instead of openssl... Switching to that shouldn't be that hard actually, I think even easier than working out the boring licensing issues. micah
