Currently (since 2005), (L)GPL packages that link to Fink's OpenSSL must be marked as Restrictive because we can't distribute binaries. A note is usually left in DescPackaging to keep track of the original license. With system-openssl dying with 10.11, there's going to be a large increase in packages that suddenly have to become Restrictive and the mass updates will probably cause information to be lost. Would it make sense to add a new license type such as GPL/OpenSSL? This would note the main license, the fact that it links to OpenSSL, and would thus be marked 'restrictive' by the bindist and no binaries would be generated for that package. (any GPL packages that have an explicit OpenSSL exception would still be labelled GPL as before) Hanspeter |
