Yeah, I did a apt-cache rdepends libldap2 and had a look through some copyright files. Unfortunately the copyright files often say "GPLv2" when the actual source says "GPLv2 or later", or in the case of pdns, just "GNU General Public License" although it comes with GPLv2 in COPYING. OTOH there's quite a few apps that have the OpenSSL exception, but those are generally v2 or later anyway. -- # TRS-80 trs80(a)ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au #/ "Otherwise Bub here will do \ # UCC Wheel Member http://trs80.ucc.asn.au/ #| what squirrels do best | [ "There's nobody getting rich writing ]| -- Collect and hide your | [ software that I know of" -- Bill Gates, 1980 ]\ nuts." -- Acid Reflux #231 / -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
