GPL applications using Python (OpenSSL issue?)

2011-03-07 Thread Ulrik Sverdrup
Can GPLv3+ applications written in Python exist in Debian main? The applications in question do not use an openssl exception. Python uses OpenSSL so the moment the application starts, it is linking against it too: $ objdump -p /usr/bin/python2.6 | grep NEEDED NEEDED libpthread.so.
