I don't know the specifics but the following is included in the
license for fetchmail 5.8.17 (5.9.0 most recent version):
Specific permission is granted for this code to be linked to OpenSSL
(this is necessary becuse the OpenSSL license is not GPL-compatible).
Because lftp is GPL, I presume it is not legal to redistribute
binaries linked against OpenSSL. Any problems adding the above clause
to the lftp license to make it legal?
BTW, according to:
http://www.fsf.org/licenses/license-list.html#TOCSoftwareLicenses
I believe the incompatibility is the result of the advertising clause
in the OpenSSL license.
