Re: GPL-licensed packages with depend-chain to OpenSSL



Here's the snarly bit:

Take a copy of curl, not built with ssl support. Build your GPLed
application, linking it to this curl. There should unarguably be no
problems here - everything involved is GPL-compatible.

Now, go and build a copy of curl that is linked to openssl. Install
that one instead, not touching the GPLed application.

What just happened? What is going on here and where is the boundary?
