This doesn't look like an issue to me if all we need to do is add the
following to the GPL license:
* In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders give
* permission to link the code of portions of this program with the
* OpenSSL library under certain conditions as described in each
* individual source file, and distribute linked combinations
* including the two.
* You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects
* for all of the code used other than OpenSSL. If you modify
* file(s) with this exception, you may extend this exception to your
* version of the file(s), but you are not obligated to do so. If you
* do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your
* version. If you delete this exception statement from all source
* files in the program, then also delete it here.
I'll raise this issue on the members list and get back to you.
FYI: I never heard back from Kevin Ruddy @ Powerdog on our strptime.c
conflict. I'll try one more time and if I get no reponse we'll move to
another strptime implemenation.
Thanks Robert.
