[Pkg-ossec-devel] [ossec-dev] OpenSSL exception

[Daniel Cid]

So what exactly needs to be added to the license? I will send that to
the Trend team for addition...

Also, OpenSSL doesn't need to be added (and everything should work
fine). In fact, that's how we support
systems without openssl-dev installed... We just link to it for small
performance gains (when generating the
sha1 hashes).

thanks,
