kmymoney2-developer,
In the Debian/GNU Linux binary package of kmymoney we are currently linking
to OpenSSL (via libgwenhywfar) which isn't actually allowed under the GPL
unless the kmymoney team provide an exemption.
http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#LEGAL2
e.g. "This program is released under the GPL with the additional exemption that
compiling, linking, and/or using OpenSSL is allowed."
If the kmymoney team are unable/ unwilling to provide an exception we will stop
distributing kmymoney linked to openssl, by building kmymoney without
libgwenhywfar support whilst libgwenhywfar links against openssl.

http://bugs.debian.org/340573
Could I ask you to maintain the Cc: on any response so they are
filed into the Debian bug tracking system.
Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#423379: OpenSSL license violation
Date: Fri, 11 May 2007
From: Hendrik Weimer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Package: kmymoney2
Version: 0.8.6-1
Severity: serious
According to the copyright file kmymoney2 is being distributed under
GPLv2. However, it depends on libgwenhywfar, which in turns is linked
against OpenSSL. While libgwenhywfar contains an OpenSSL exception,
kmymoney2 does not.
So, please obtain an OpenSSL exception from upstream, fix bug #340573,
or upload a version not linking against libgwenhywfar.
Hendrik
