That doesn't work. OpenSSL is not an required part of the debian
operating system at present, so I believe that part of the GPL doesn't
apply to this situation for us. I guess it depends what a "normal"
distribution of debian is: required and important packages, or more?
See http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/08/msg00221.html for a
recent discussion ending with mention of this point. I'll CC this to
you, as now I'm unsure whether you're reading the list.
