Bug#154027: libgnomevfs2-0: links in libssl, which violates the license of GPL'd programs linked against it
Package: libgnomevfs2-0 Version: 2.0.1-1 Severity: serious Tags: sid [Sorry if this ends up arriving twice.] pisces:~$ ldd /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so [...] libssl.so.0.9.6 = /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6 (0x40249000) libcrypto.so.0.9.6 = /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6 (0x40275000) [...] Linking anything licensed under the GPL against libgnomevfs-2 and distributing the result violates the GPL'd program's license, as the libssl license is incompatible with the GPL. Note: This *isn't* a violation of the libgnomevfs2 license, but gnomevfs can cause us to violate other packages' licenses. It would be best if libgnomevfs-2 was not linked against libssl at all, or ported to gnutls or some other GPL-compatible library. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux pisces 2.4.18 #1 Sun Mar 17 19:08:08 EST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US Versions of packages libgnomevfs2-0 depends on: ii gconf21.2.0-1GNOME configuration database syste ii libbonobo-activation4 1.0.2-1Bonobo Activation Framework -- run ii libc6 2.2.5-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.0.4-3The GLib library of C routines ii libgnomevfs2-common 2.0.1-1The GNOME virtual file-system libr ii liblinc1 0.5.0-1library to simplify creating netwo ii liborbit2 2.4.0-1Libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libssl0.9.6 0.9.6d-1 SSL shared libraries ii libxml2 2.4.23-1 GNOME XML library ii zlib1g1:1.1.4-2 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- Joe Drew [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This particular group of cats is mostly self-herding. -- Bdale Garbee -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
