? Can you provide a reference? I thought the mainissue with gnuplot's weird GPL-incomplate license is that only the original authors are allowed to initiate distribution of modified versions of the source; anybody else must distribute the unchanged sources + patches. > Maybe it would be helpful to email > those developers, what they say about this and us including openssl in sage. Maybe we can include openssl in Sage as long as no GPL'd components of Sage binary link with it... but that is a fine line. Linking against it as a system library is less of a fine line. > > H > > -- > To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel > URL: http://www.sagemath.org -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
