Thanks Lars.
I guess once we have this, for each package we'll need to:
- Notify the upstream developers that they're sitting on a time bomb. :-)
- Do one of the following, in order of preference:
* Get permission from the upstream devel to link with OpenSSL
* Link the package against OpenTLS
* Link the package against the system OpenSSL (BuildConflict with
Fink's version)
* Remove the package from the bindist, possibly from unstable too.
Any other options?
very well known and rather well respected lawyers have told me, seperately,
that we should exactly do that. Somehow I think that we should trust their
judgement. I know I would, but then again, that is just me.
I highly agree. This is a can of legal worms and gordian knots we don't want to mess with. Say, for instance we license all our patches under the gpl. If someone wants to later add ssl to that app, they can't, unless they get our permission, etc. :-)
If we pretend it doesn't exist we don't have to care. ;-)
