Re: GPL exception for the OpenSSL library

[Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>]

	    My question is: do you think this license exception is
    acceptable for use?  That is, does it prevent the proprietary hijacking
    of the linked GPL-incompatible library?  Can you see any flaws in this?

I see one possible flaw: if someone includes a different COPYING.OpenSSL
file, this notice would give permission for linking with something
under that replaced file.  I think that's a bug.  It needs to state
the OpenSSL license in some more reliable way.
