No more libedit?! - openssl plans to switch to APL2
Hi,
According to https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2015/08/01/cla/ openssl
is planning to relicense to the apache license 2.0. While APL2 is not
compatible with GLP2 it *is* compatible with GPL3.
Greetings,
Andres Freund

What's the connection to libedit?

Some platforms have to use libedit because linking to both libreadline
and openssl is of debated legality. GPL prohibits additional
restrictions and openssl's license has an advertising clause which is
often interpreted violating the additional-restrictions clause.

Just 5 minutes later, some progress on that front:

Great! This means that the Debian packages will eventually be able to
drop their LD_PRELOAD hack, which never worked perfectly due to
compiling against libedit or libreadline header resulting in different
binaries.

Well, relicensing is hard. It's far from guaranteed to succeed...
