Description
Samuli Suominen (RETIRED)
![]() There is now "SSLeay" license in tree. If we go about changing "openssl" to "openssl SSLeay", all of these need adjusting too: af_alg, Net-SSLeay, google-musicmanager, makemkv, ssldump, bind, bind-tools, dropbox, vidalia, newrelic and google-talkplugin Any opinions? Good catch, but unfortunately we can't do that, because the openssl license has been approved by the FSF in this form: <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#OpenSSL> If we split it, we would have to remove it from the FSF-APPROVED license group. And can you add SSLeay to MISC-FREE in profiles/license_groups, please?

OK, fine by me, thanks for clarification. |
