The OpenSSL license is incompatible with the GPL. A GPL application needs an addition to its license that allows linking with OpenSSL. Some application authors do that and then Debian (or anyone) can distribute the apps (in a binary form); some don't, or haven't yet, and those apps Debian doesn't distribute. -- Though spring is here, to me it is still September -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
