Hello,
this series addresses the problem that binaries licensed under plain GPL
and linked to OpenSSL cannot be distributed. To allow this a special
exception by the copyright holders is needed[1].
The changes since (implicit) v1 sent with
Message-Id: 20200915205417.15484-1-u.kleine-koenig at pengutronix.de:
- added acks
- rename OpenSSL-exception to LicenseRef-OpenSSL-exception as suggested by
Roland
- s/GPL-2.0+/GPL-2.0-or-later/ in rsatoc; similar changes also in the
license text copied from Linux to not use the names deprecated by
SPDX.
- dropped Eric Bénard, his address isn't working any more. Tried to contact
via other means, no feedback yet.
[1] I'm not a lawyer but I know that software distributed by Debian
requires this.
