Bug#491258: cpqarrayd: GPL vs libssl
Matt Taggart
Version: 2.3-1
When packaging the newest upstream cpqarrayd release (2.3), lintian gave me
a warning about this GPL'd package linking against openssl
W: cpqarrayd: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl
N:
N: This package appears to be covered by the GNU GPL but depends on the
N: OpenSSL libssl package and does not mention a license exemption or
N: exception for OpenSSL in its copyright file. The GPL (including
N: version 3) is incompatible with some terms of the OpenSSL license, and
N: therefore Debian does not allow GPL-licensed code linked with OpenSSL
N: libraries unless there is a license exception explicitly permitting
N: this.
N:
N: If only the Debian packaging, or some other part of the package not
N: linked with OpenSSL, is covered by the GNU GPL, please add a lintian
N: override for this tag. Lintian currently has no good way of
N: distinguishing between that case and problematic packages.
This is caused by the snmptrap support linking against libcrypto. For now I
have added "--disable-snmptrap" to the configure for the Debian package. I
will forward this bug upstream to see how they would like to handle it.
