Bug#718860: Vanitygen packaging: any news?



Hi Carlo,

I'm glad, you're also interested in the package.

As it uses OpenSSL, the license is not compatible as is. It would
require an explicit exception clause in the license of vanitygen.
I contacted the author, but never got any response.
Somebody suggested, that I could link it to GnuTLS instead. I gave that
a try, but GnuTLS didn't have all functions that were used from OpenSSL.
If I remember correctly, Elliptic curves were missing.

So, with the current license situation, It cannot be included in debian.

If you could also try to contact the upstream author and ask for the
small addition to the license text, he might realize that more people
are interested...
