Bug#1132562: licensecheck: Please detect the OpenSSL exception

[Andrew McMillan]

Package: licensecheck
Version: 3.3.9-1
Severity: normal

In reviewing the package kamailio_6.1.1-2, various files are identified
with
the following license text (example taken from
src/modules/websocket/config.c):

/*

licensecheck recognizes this as:
        GPL-2+ and/or OpenSSL

The debian/copyright file for the package identifies it as:
        GPL-2 with OpenSSL exception

Which seems a much clearer description.


Thanks,
Andrew McMillan
