Description

When linking to OpenLDAP or cURL, those libaries may in trun be linked to
libaries with GPL incompatible licenses. Although this is something a vendor
needs to take care of, we might want to detect this case in ./configure and
print a warning.

Let's see whether the GPLv3 can tackle our concrete problem with OpenSSL. Thus
I have set the state to deferred for now.

Event Timeline

Solved by applying an exception to the ldap and curl helpers.
