[Pkg-citadel-devel] Package cleanup

[Michael Meskes]

Hi there,

I just committed some minor patches to quiet lintian. However, I noticed
one severe problem:

W: citadel-server: 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:

What do we do with this one? I do not really agree with this point of
view as I think a copyright holder cannot break his own copyright, but
with this being an acceptance problem we have to fix it to get the
packages into the archive.

Michael
