Hi *, I am maintaining tcltls, and now I have to upload a new version. When I ran lintian -iI I got this:
W: tcltls: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl N: N: This package appears to be covered by the GNU GPL but depends on the N: OpenSSL libssl package and does not mention a license exemption or N: exception for OpenSSL in its copyright file. The GPL (including N: version 3) is incompatible with some terms of the OpenSSL license, and N: therefore Debian does not allow GPL-licensed code linked with OpenSSL N: libraries unless there is a license exception explicitly permitting N: this. N: N: If only the Debian packaging, or some other part of the package not N: linked with OpenSSL, is covered by the GNU GPL, please add a lintian N: override for this tag. Lintian currently has no good way of N: distinguishing between that case and problematic packages. I am not sure how to handle this Lintian Warning. I'd be glad if someone could tell me what I have to do in this case. I added copyright terms of openssl, but Lintian still showing that warning. So in this case, how a license exemption for OpenSSL should be done? Regards, -- Muammar El Khatib. Linux user: 403107.
