Personally I really dislike the idea: FreeRADIUS code is released under the GPL and there is nothing wrong with that. I note there are many other ways to get a freeradius-postgresql package in Debian. - Ask Debian to provide a SSL-free package of the PostgreSQL libraries, so our freeradius-postgresql package can depend on that. - Add GnuTLS support to PostgreSQL (someone suggested to work on that in the "pgsql-general" mailing list) http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2006-04/msg00367.php - Ask OpenSSL to remove the advertising clause from their license. I also note the current situation is really a minor problem for our users, because we're maintaining the necessary files to build the Debian packages in our CVS. Anybody can easily build a Debian package of the freeradius-postgresql module from a sources tarball with a single command line.
