Could or might be so. I need a consensus in Debian that your interpretation of the problem is correct, however. If it is clear I'm willing to link lynx against OpenSSL.

I think the problem here is not the licence but Debian’s interpretation of it, trying to stay on the FSF/RMS posi- tion. As the FSF doesn’t even hold copyright in Lynx, it is extremely unlikely that, even if their interpretation of the GPL were correct, anything would happen if Lynx were to be distributed as _dynamically_ linked binary against OpenSSL. *shrugs* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I believe lynx-cur can't be linked against OpenSSL because of its license in Debian. Please see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=%23187972 If I misunderstand something, please let me know. I'm willing to accept your request if the license permits it.

Package: lynx-cur Version: 2.8.7pre2-1 Severity: wishlist Please link lynx-cur against OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS to make use of the bugfixes I already submitted upstream, like the X.509v3 subjectAltName support code, which would fix #231609 and others. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
