Hello!
I was asked to verify that the license below does meet DFSG,
before releasing the software itself, so I would like you to take
a look at this text and tell me what your opinions are, before
getting rejected on the NEW queue :-)
Altought IANAL, It appears to me that it meets the requirements,
but, as I mentioned, I would like your advice about it.

a. The software has incorporated (been combined with or linked
to) the OpenSSL library, and
b. The license of the incoporated OpenSSL library prevents the
resulting work from being distributed under each of
conditions 1-3 of this license, and
c. The restrictions on advertising and labeling are no more
restrictive than those under which OpenSSL 1.0.0 was
distributed in its original March 2010 release, and
d. All recipients of the software retain the ability to
distribute the software under any subset they wish of
conditions 1-3 of this license provided they remove the
incoporated OpenSSL library.
