[htdig-dev] Problems linking htdig (3.1.6) to the OpenSSL library..

[Robert R. <ri...@li...>]

Hi list..

as the debian maintainer of htdig I am responsible for its presence in 
debian, but I am also the first-hand support guy to contact when there 
is a bug.

A while ago, there was the enable htdig to support SSL ('https') 
requests, which to my knowledge is only possible using the OpenSSL 
library. Htdig 3.1.6 is license under the GPL, V2, the 3.2.0 branch will 
sail under LGPL..

While this is technically no problem, there seem to be licensing issues.

Could you look at

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=133086

and tell me whether it would be possible to find a solution similar to

http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html

Thanks

Robert
