The problem only exists for dynamic linking with GPL libraries. LGPL
is OK. (And of course you can't copy-paste any LGPL/GPL code without

Yes. They are both under the GPL and I heard on #kvm that libkvm is
under LGPL. What I wa

Critical for what? For its popularity and easy availability only, I
guess.

I do think that a vast majority of people don't compile their software
and get it packaged. Which means the availability of a package in a
distro is critical. E.g. the replacement of 'cd

Of course -- many people understand the problem, and choose to go the
safe route. That's one of the reasons why the GnuTLS project was
started in the first place, if you recall.
OTOH, t

Deliberately -- it's well known, and hated among major developers
(why?) [1]. Migration to GnuTLS is not always trivial, and the
openssl compatibility layer (in gnutls-extra, I think) does not work
in all cases and is under GP
Hi,
One thing you didn't mention is using GnuTLS.
It's LGPL'd, it's GNU, and it even has a partial openssl-compatible
layer. That's what we recommend before considering adding an exception
(which has the problems you mentioned).

Yes, that's a well known issue, see

It should have a special exception
If you take a look at this license notice you would find that it is
incompatible with the GPL. The project GiVME has a dependency on
openssl. Openssl is distributed with GNewSense, so maybe I am missing
something.
