Subject: [PATCH 4/7] LICENSES: add OpenSSL exception
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2020 22:54:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200915205417.15484-5-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200915205417.15484-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>

The GPL (both, version 2 and 3) are incompatible with the OpenSSL license.
(OpenSSL has requirements on attribution, which from the GPL's point of
view is a further requirement which is forbidden.)

See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs for
some more details.
