The creator of FreeRadius has said he has no problem adding an
exemption.. at lease one freeradius developer questions the action. I'm
hoping that this exemption gets put into freeradius, but what would be ideal
is if everybody in GPL land could link to OpenSSL without adding exemptions.
I've sent this mail to the OpenSSL list in the hope that it will help:
