I was looking for the same generic OpenSSL exception and surprised that there was only a specific OpenVPN one.
This is my suggestion based upon our Deluge project text: https://git.deluge-torrent.org/deluge/tree/LICENSE derived from this article: https://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html Full name: OpenSSL Exception Short identifier: OpenSSL-exception Other web pages for this exception: https://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html Notes: Typically used with GPL-2.0 or GPL-3.0 Text: In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders give permission to link the code of portions of this program with the OpenSSL library. You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of the code used other than OpenSSL. If you modify file(s) with this exception, you may extend this exception to your version of the file(s), but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version. I am not sure whether to include the OpenVPN following additional text after 'OpenSSL library', which does make some sense: "(or with modified versions of OpenSSL that use the same license as OpenSSL), and distribute linked combinations including the two." Finally of note is that OpenSSL is moving to Apache license so this will be a moot point soon-ish! https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2018/03/01/last-license/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
