Greetings to all.
Will there be any license compatibility issues in using openssl with
Squid? I plan to build Squid with "enable-ssl" support but happened to
bump into an old discussion on this.
"http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-dev/200406/0011.html";.
As i'm not an expert on this, I wish to hear from the group if there
will be any potential license violation if we want to use Squid to
provide https-proxy support.
Best Regards,

There is no violation is building the two together for personal/business
internal use.
The problem begins with re-distributing the copy you built. It boils
down to GPL software cannot be distributed in binary form when
containing OpenSSL code.
Neither Squid or OpenSSL licensing has changed in this regard AFAIK.
Squid being GPL2+ has the option that if GPL 3 or 4 etc is altered to
correct that gap we may finally be able to do so.
