#OPENSSL LICENSING CODE#

In this case, the OpenSSL code is being treated as if it were a proprietary blob. The LGPL offers a workaround, which is to separate out the LGPL'd code entirely into a separate library, and then set up your build system so users can relink against a modified version of the LGPL'd code. So if you want to take some OpenSSL code and some LGPL'd code and compile them both together, you wouldn't be permitted to distribute the result. OpenSSL is licensed under an Apache-style license, which basically means that you are free to get and use it. The OpenSSL license is incompatible with the GPL and LGPL because it has requirements (the advertising clause) that the GPL/LGPL prohibit. It is also a general-purpose cryptography library. Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without. 'Compatibility' is typically considered when there's going to be works under two licenses combined into a derived work.

That means it’s a permissive free software license. The current licensing on OpenSSL is Apache-style. The LGPL is important for proprietary applications because it lets them (for example) bundle a version of GTK+ that they know will work properly, so they don't have to depend on whatever version is installed on the user's system. Rather than reinvent the wheel by writing your own SSL, you might consider using OpenSSL. This is most relevant when using static linking, but also applies if you're distributing your program with a bunch of included dynamic libraries. both the conditions of the OpenSSL License and the original SSLeay license apply to the toolkit. The GPL would require your code to be open-sourced, but the LGPL has special provisions to permit bundling. The OpenSSL toolkit stays under a double license, i.e. In case of any license issues related to OpenSSL please contact. The most important difference is that the LGPL permits bundling of your code with the LGPL'd code into a single combined work. Python software and documentation are licensed under the PSF License Agreement.
