If we put the Packages file under some sort of version control (e.g.
cvs), bandwidth requirments would be minimised as cvs automatically
takes care of diff's and patching, and i assume the CPU load from cvs
server is a lot better than rsync.

Thanks for your email. When I initially started using OpenSSL with the
Gaim-Encryption plugin, I had no plans of distributing binaries of it,
and thus I wasn't overly worried about the license issues associated
with OpenSSL. I hadn't revisited those issues before releasing the
