tcltls & possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl
Hi *,
I am maintaining tcltls, and now I have to upload a new version. When I ran
lintian -iI I got this:
W: tcltls: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl
N:
N: This package appears to be covered by the GNU GPL but depends on the
N: OpenSSL libssl package and does not mention a license exemption or
N: exception for OpenSSL in its copyright file. The GPL (including
N: version 3) is incompatible with some terms of the OpenSSL license, and
N: therefore Debian does not allow GPL-licensed code linked with OpenSSL
N: libraries unless there is a license exception explicitly permitting
N: this.
N:
N: If only the Debian packaging, or some other part of the package not
N: linked with OpenSSL, is covered by the GNU GPL, please add a lintian
N: override for this tag. Lintian currently has no good way of
N: distinguishing between that case and problematic packages.
I am not sure how to handle this Lintian Warning. I'd be glad if someone could
tell me what I have to do in this case. I added copyright terms of openssl, but
Lintian still showing that warning. So in this case, how a license exemption for
OpenSSL should be done?
Regards,
