Description

Linking OpenSSL from GPL code seems to be an issue,

See:

https://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#LEGAL2
https://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html

Please add a license exception to the README, which explicitly allows linking with OpenSSL like:

This software is released under the GPL, version 3 (see COPYING).
Additionally, compiling, linking, and/or using the OpenSSL toolkit in
conjunction with this software is allowed.

...or use e.g. GNU-TLS instead.

Thanks!

Hi Bernd,

Sollen wir einfach mal README ergängzen wie vorgeschlagen oder GNU-TLS verwenden? Ich hab erst einmal README ergänzt und
falls du lieber auf GNU-TLS setzen möchtest, kannst du später ändern :)
