X-Spam-Level:
I got this forwarded to me.
Yes the library from 4.0 and above is now GPL. And in 3.23 it was LGPL.
As for the inability to link with OpenSSL we as the copyright holder
can allow this. And we do so.
The same license incomparability problem also appears for the Apache
and Eclipse people that we are talking to.
Basically we will allow linking with our GPL library with any true
OpenSource package (OSI guidelines).
We will but something in the license but I need to get something from a
lawyer and also get it approved by IBM legal department that might take
time...
