I personally prefer OpenSSL to GNU TLS (less established) and Mozilla NSS (much more complex and less commonly available). Since I hold the copyright for all the code I've produced so far, I think this may still work if I include the wording described in that document. I guess I should ask though, what are the conceivable consequences if I make a licensing mistake somewhere? I certainly don't want to be responsible for any suit against Gnome. :-) _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
