Hi guys,

perhaps this is the wrong list for such a question, but let’s start here first...

When I check on MacPorts for a typical KDE application whether it is binary \
distributable, e.g. for KMyMoney, I get something like this: —
"git-core" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with license \
"OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl" "p5.16-net-ssleay" is not distributable because its \
license "OpenSSL" conflicts with license "GPL-3+" of dependency "gdbm" "soprano" is \
not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with license "OpenSSL" of \
dependency "openssl" "gtk-doc" is not distributable because its license "gpl" \
conflicts with license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl" "itstool" is not \
distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with license "OpenSSL" of \
dependency "openssl" "virtuoso" is not distributable because its license "GPL" \
conflicts with license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl" "virtuoso-7" is not \
distributable because its license "GPL" conflicts with license "OpenSSL" of \
dependency "openssl" "ImageMagick" is not distributable because its license "apache" \
conflicts with license "GPL-2" of dependency "libpaper" "ghostscript" is not \
distributable because its license "agpl" conflicts with license "GPL-2" of dependency \
"libpaper" "dbusmenu-qt" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts \
with license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl" "mysql5" is not distributable because \
its license "gpl" conflicts with license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl" \
"poppler-qt4-mac" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with \
license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl" "poppler" is not distributable because its \
license "gpl" conflicts with license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl" "gnupg" is not \
distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with license "OpenSSL" of \
dependency "openssl” —
i.e. 14 ports which must be build by the user due to conflicting licenses, mostly due \
to OpenSSL.

I am curious on how typical Linux distributions actually handle these cases.

Greets,
Marko
