The dual-license on OpenSSL clashes with the more restrictive GPL
|
||
|
|
licensing on VTun. In most cases, an exemption on the GPL-licensed
|
||
|
|
product is ultimately required to ensure no barrier exists to using it
|
||
|
|
with a project licensed under a less restrictive license, legally
|
||
|
|
speaking.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Historically, VTun binaries have been linked with OpenSSL encryption
|
||
|
|
libraries and distributed in combination. A de-facto licensing
|
||
|
|
exemption has openly existed only with respect to linking VTun code
|
||
|
|
against OpenSSL libraries as well as distribution within projects also
|
||
|
|
incorporating OpenSSL. To that end, and to clear up a question about
|
||
|
|
linking raised with OpenSSL, a special exemption is hereby granted:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Permission is given to link the code of this program with the OpenSSL
|
||
|
|
library, or with modified versions of OpenSSL that use the same
|
||
|
|
license as OpenSSL, and to distribute linked combinations including
|
||
|
|
the two, so long as no other component within this program or the
|
||
|
|
resulting distribution forbids a coupling.
