[cl-plus-ssl-devel] Fwd: Re: Bug#394161: ITP: cl-plus-ssl -- A simple Common Lisp interface to OpenSSL

[Peter Van Eynde]

Hello people,

I've created a debian package of cl-plus-ssl and while filing the ITP I got 
the attached comment. In short: the position held by the ftp maintainers of 
debian is that a normal GPL'ed program cannot be linked with openssl. If you 
want to do this you have to add a clause to the license permitting linking 
with openssl.

As the whole intend of cl-plus-ssl is to link with openssl this is a little 
pedantic, but could you add this clause, just to 'cross all the t's and dot 
the i's'?

For more information see 
http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html, thanks in advance.

Groetjes, Peter

Is the Lisp LGPL license compatible with the OpenSSL license?
