Hi, I working on packaging ITK-SNAP (http://www.itksnap.org). This software is GPL licensed. It is based on ITK, and ITK itself is linked or includes any known library on this planet.
It happens that ITK (and GDCM) also links against OpenSSL -- meaning no matter what I do, I get a GPL-licensed binary linked against OpenSSL -- which is unless you put a special exemption -- a license violation. http://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html This is somewhat crazy, because ITK-SNAP does not seem to be using a single symbol from OpenSSL. But first of all cmake does a nice job collecting all the "LIB_DEPENDS" and links the binary against everything its dependencies have been linked against -- whatever that is good for... But even if I manually remove all traces of OpenSSL from the build process I end up with this: mich...@meiner ~/debian/itk-snap/git/build (git)-[debian] % ldd InsightSNAP ... libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0xb53c4000) libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0xb526c000) ... And this happens although there is no -lssl or -lcrypto anywhere during the ITK-SNAP build. Nevertheless, I get a linitan error pointing to the license violation. What can I do? I thought '-Wl,--as-needed' would fix it, but it doesn't. Help would be greatly appreciated.
