The GPL (including version + 3) is incompatible with some terms of the OpenSSL license, and therefore + Debian does not allow GPL-licensed code linked with OpenSSL libraries + unless there is a license exception explicitly permitting this. + . + If only the Debian packaging, or some other part of the package not + linked with OpenSSL, is covered by the GNU GPL, please add a Lintian + override for this tag. Lintian currently has no good way of + distinguishing between that case and problematic packages. +See-Also: + Bug#972181, + http://meetbot.debian.net/debian-ftp/2020/debian-ftp.2020-03-13-20.02.html |
