Since svn rev 69 (a bit after 4.0 beta 1 was released), libmsn also includes the following exception to allow linkage to OpenSSL: In addition to the license terms of the GNU General Public License, as copied below, the developers of libmsn give you permission to link the code of this release of libmsn with the OpenSSL project's "OpenSSL" library (or with modified versions of it that use the same license as the "OpenSSL" library), and distribute the linked executables. You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of the code used other than "OpenSSL". If you modify this file, you may extend this exception to your version of the file, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version. That exception also applies to 4.0 beta 1, as stated by this e-mail from the libmsn developer to the Debian packager: _______________________________________________________________________ from Tiago Salem Herrmann to Pau Garcia i Quiles date Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 7:13 PM subject Re: libmsn & GPL _______________________________________________________________________ Yes, it was not in beta1 because I released the package before adding that exception.
