That will probably create many legal problems. If there's a way to keep this package, we should. As many of you know, the basic problem is that the OpenSSL license is incompatible with the GPL: http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/ http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg426067.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/10/msg00113.html Any program that links to libgnutls-openssl that has GPL'ed components probably CANNOT be legally linked to OpenSSL. --- David A.
