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!
