Hello, this series addresses the problem that binaries licensed under plain GPL and linked to OpenSSL cannot be distributed. To allow this a special exception by the copyright holders is needed[1]. The changes since (implicit) v1 sent with Message-Id: 20200915205417.15484-1-u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx: - added acks - rename OpenSSL-exception to LicenseRef-OpenSSL-exception as suggested by Roland - s/GPL-2.0+/GPL-2.0-or-later/ in rsatoc; similar changes also in the license text copied from Linux to not use the names deprecated by SPDX. - dropped Eric Bénard, his address isn't working any more. Tried to contact via other means, no feedback yet. [1] I'm not a lawyer but I know that software distributed by Debian requires this.
