Hello Christian, I'm a Debian contributor and, as you might know, Debian is in its final rush to get Lenny released.
One of the developers reported a bug against gkrellm-snmp, which you can see at [0] <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508292> Simply licensing gkrellm-snmp under GPL-2+ is not possible: your software links to OpenSSL at compile-time, and GPL and the OpenSSL license are incompatible. You can find the reasons why at: [1] <http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html> Unfortunately, just linking against gnutls instead of libssl isn't feasible, since your software also links to libsnmp15, which is itself linked to libssl. Our build tools suggest that the libssl linkage is probably useless, but the problem persists because of the "transitive" linkage through libsnmp. The solution is: please add an OpenSSL exception clause to your licensing terms. You can read how to do this in [1]. Please, do this as soon as possible: this is a Release-Critical bug for Debian. Also, please do keep the bugreport address CCed (508...@bugs.debian.org), so that other Debian users can see your response. Thank you for your support, David Paleino -- . ''`.
