Hi Martin,

Sorry didn't mean to come across so harsh...

The issue for me is we are trying to meet the wishes of the kmymoney team and
the openssl team, through your various licences, which aren't compatible,
thus we can't meet the wishes of both of your licences.

Thus the options:

1. Debian currently shouldn't currently distribute kmymoney linked to openssl
2. kmymoney (maybe?) or openssl (unlikley) modify your licences
3. modify libgwenhywfar not to link to openssl

Thanks for your efforts on this!  Great work...

Mark
