Hi. I'm looking over kvirc package https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492690
and it contains GPL license with following addition: --- 13. As a special exception, Szymon Stefanek gives permission to link this program with Qt non-commercial edition for Windows, and distribute the resulting executable, without including the source code for the Qt non-commercial edition in the source distribution. The Qt non-commercial edition library is covered by the Qt Non-Commercial license. See http://www.trolltech.com for informations. 14. As a special exception, Szymon Stefanek gives permission to link this program with the OpenSSL project's "OpenSSL" library (or with modified versions of it that use the same license as the "OpenSSL" library), and distribute the linked executables. You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of the code used other than "OpenSSL". If you modify file(s), you may extend this exception to your version of the file(s), but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version. --- Will it be appropriate to use "GPLv2+ with exceptions" as license field? Full text of their license could be found here: https://svn.kvirc.de/kvirc/browser/trunk/kvirc/doc/COPYING?rev=2469 It is a bit strange that openssl is incompatible with GPL. It looks to me that quite some number of GPLed projects could use openssl without noticing this.
