"Still the same old reason which hinders quite many other packages in Debian: to wit, the incompatibiliy between the GPLv2 and the OpenSSL license. The GPLv2 which ircd-hybrid is licensed under cannot be altered to be compatible with the OpenSSL license, because too many parties are involved. Nevertheless, it seems the current GPLv3 will solve the licensing conflict and, fortunately, ircd-hybrid is licensed under the GPLv2 *or later*. Therefore, when the GPLv3 will be officially released, it will be possible to distribute an OpenSSL-enabled ircd-hybrid." GPLv3 has now been released, so perhaps this can in fact be resolved. -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
