I believe that is a fairly new (~5 years?) approach within Debian. Debian used to treat OpenSSL incompatible with GPLv2 and that all code that link to OpenSSL has to have a GPL+OpenSSL exception. Does anyone recall how and when this decision was made? Licensing wrt to libcurl and OpenSSL has been discussed before: https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/08/msg00221.html /Simon
