Google for "openssl gpl" and you should find relevant information. E.g. [1] tries to summarize the problem. It also has a proposal for such a OpensSSL exemption. You should add this addendum to COPYING and probably also ship the original OpenSSL COPYING file (e.g. as COPYING.OpenSSL) > > Is any of the alternates suitable for production use, especially in a highly > threaded environment? GNU, from the name, sounds appealing... A prominent example of a project using GnuTLS is e.g. samba (if it's highly threaded, I don't know). OpenLDAP in Debian also uses GnuTLS. A prominent example of a project using NSS is mozilla/firefox/thunderbird. I think the more widely used library is GnuTLS. I really don't have that much experience with either of these libraries, so it's hard to give a recommendation.
