Description Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-12-02 04:52:10 UTC
I suggest:

1. Rename "sslwrap" to "SSLeay" since it's the original SSLeay license
2. Change net-misc/sslwrap to use the license
3. Change openssl to use the license, by dropping the duplicate from the openssl license and adjusting ebuild

Thanks

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?
Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-12-02 08:10:37 UTC
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.
