I would like to figure out if it is ok for me to create a gpl'd package
that links against fink's libssl. Looking in unstable/crypto, it looks
like there are several packages that do this, yet I have read elsewhere
that doing so violates the gpl because openssl's license is not
compatible with the gpl. The gpl has an exemption for libraries that
are distributed with the operating system, but I'm not sure if that
would also cover fink's openssl package. Some enlightenment would be
much appreciated :)
