I stumbled upon this since kildclient is one of the packages in debian that links agains either libgnutls-openssl or libgnutls-extra and is according to debian/copyright not compatible with GPLv3. Since the new version of this library is GPLv3 this would make it impossible to continue linking kildclient against he library. Could you please make sure about the actual license? Thanks. On a sidenote *.c is missing the copyright statements, you might want to nudge upstream. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html thanks in advance, cu andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
