Correct me if I'm wrong, but the GPL says that no one can *release*
a copy of hpoj linked to OpenSSL. They can certainly use hpoj linked
to OpenSSL. Of course, that doesn't help you as the guy who is trying
to package up hpoj for debian. But if I want to link hpoj to OpenSSL,
there's nothing in my reading of the GPL that prevents me. I simply
can't release any such code to anyone else.
Or have I misread the GPL?
