Hello! A bug report about Buteo not syncing with Google via https [1] showed that Qt tries to load OpenSSL libraries, which fails because they are not installed where they are expected [2]. There is an open request to change that [3].
First, is someone working on 7813? The original issue #7777 was marked as resolved with a comment that "Fix is already available in 1.1 branch.", but it doesn't say what the fix was, and Trunk obviously is still affected. Makoto, can you clarify? Second, as mentioned in #7777 and elsewhere [4], there is a license conflict between OpenSSL and GPL. Does opening OpenSSL via dlopen() at runtime really work around this conflict? I'm not a lawyer, but given that the way how linking is achieved is typically not specified in detail in licenses, I doubt that using dlopen() instead of ld.so really works around the license issue.
