I raised this directly with 10gen last cycle; they granted Ubuntu a
license exception so that we could enable SSL support with OpenSSL.
I want to see if we can get this generically expanded to support
*everyone*.
Nice. Where are license exceptions documented? Seems like they should
be at the very least distributed along with MongoDB's source code.
