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, Kiran
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.
Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE7 or 3.0.STABLE23 Current Beta Squid 3.1.0.16
