From c4419bdd2557321b268f6e105d511923b9a35936 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthias Andree Date: Sun, 5 Dec 2021 15:48:25 +0100 Subject: Permit LibreSSL on OpenBSD. On OpenBSD, libressl is "normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs" according to Stuart Henderson, so according to the GNU GPL v2 clause 3, we can permit LibreSSL for OpenBSD. --- NEWS | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'NEWS') diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index bda49857..ba53bb4f 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -100,9 +100,9 @@ fetchmail-6.4.25.rc4 (release candidate issued 2021-12-03, 31641 LoC): # BREAKING CHANGES: * Since distributions continue patching for LibreSSL use, which cannot be linked legally, block out LibreSSL in configure.ac and socket.c, and - refer to COPYING.
