Hi everyone, Just one little problem with packaging Balsa 2.0.3 so far. In line with Debian-legal's position, I have to ask for your permission to compile and link your software, Balsa with OpenSSL due to their advertising clause. You must also agree to extend the right to use the OpenSSL features of Balsa to our users. I know that this might sounds silly, but please note OpenSSL's position on GPL software [1]. If you would like me to release 2.0.3 packages with SSL support enabled, please CC: a GnuPG/PGP signed reply on behalf of the Balsa team to debian-legal@lists.debian.org. In future releases of Balsa, please include an OpenSSL Toolkit License Exception in your license file to avoid further inconveniences of this nature. Here is a sample clause as used in license for the CUPS Unix Printing System: 2. OpenSSL Toolkit License Exception; a. Easy Software Products explicitly allows the compilation and distribution of the CUPS software with the OpenSSL Toolkit. Thanks in advanced, Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau [1] http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.cgi#LEGAL2 -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau Computer Science & Student Rep, UNSW * * # apt-get into it Debian GNU/Linux Package Maintainer * * <netsnipe(+)debianplanet.org\0> <alau(+)cse.unsw.edu.au\0> * * GnuPG 1024D/2E8B68BD 0B77 73D0 4F3B F286 63F1 9F4A 9B24 C07D 2E8B 68BD * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
