Allow linking against OpenSSL? (Was Re: Debian package for freeradius_postgresql module)

| Greetings FreeRadius people,
This discussion started on the postgresql's "pgsql-general" mailing
list. The problem here is that the freeradius-postgresql package needs to
link against libpgsql, which means that it may be indirectly linked against
openssl. There is a conflict between OpenSSL's BSD license and the GPL which
means that it's not legal to distribute a copy of GPL code that is linked in
this way. It appears that several other GPL apps have added a special clause
to their license that allows them to be linked against OpenSSL.
Could this be done for freeradius/freeradius-postgresql as well?
This could pave the way towards enhanced freeradius support in Debian,
specifically the addition of freeradius-postgresql to Debian's mainline.
For your reference, here is the start of the thread on the
pgsql-general list that got us to this point:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsq...04/msg00247.php
Thanks,
Tyler

Thanks Alan!!! Can we look forward to this clause in the next
version of FreeRadius? Is the next version due to come out anytime soon?
Thanks,
Tyler
