and I certainly would have thought > "totally insignificant" and "major" to have different meanings. > They do. My point being that "major" in the GPL text refers to other "components" and not to the library "of the operating system on which the executable runs". The library of the operating system on which the executable runs only needs to be shipped with the major components, not be one of the major components. Clearly OpenSSL is not shipped as part of the OS for many. > Even Debian comes with openssl, so arguably thats not true. And the GPL doesn't require any minimum popularity of the operating system on which the executable runs. But thats all besides the point. If the distribution doesn't have openssl, then prebuilt Sage binaries will necessarily not link to openssl. > -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
