Re: Netatalk and SSL



The license exemption for OpenSSL has to be done by the copyright
holder. As Debian holds copyright on hardly any of the software
there's not much Debian can do except help persuade upstream to add an
exemption.

Hope this explains,
Andrew

Ok, I'm confused.  In the netatalk README.Debian it says that the
Debian project has decided that OpenSSL is GPL-incompatible and
therefore he can't distribute the ssl-based portions of netatalk (like
encrypted authentication with classic macs).  I was pretty sure that
debian had worked something out for linking OpenSSL with debian
package.  Was it only for specific packages?  Is this developer just
not aware of the accommodation?  Am I totally out to lunch on what's
going on with this?

Please let me know,

Thanks,

Daniel
