Follow-up Comment #5, task #14426 (project administration): First, I may be wrong, but I think NodeJS is not an interpreter of JavaScript, it's a library.
Then, when you distribute NodeJS as a whole, OpenSSL already applies to it (with other licenses for other parts of its code), you needn't even to actually run anything; so it mustn't matter whether the user invokes any parts of the code. If developers of a package using NodeJS believe they don't need OpenSSL and don't want to be bound by its license, they could eliminate OpenSSL dependencies from NodeJS and use the modified library instead. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?14426> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
