You haven't taken into consideration the licence incompatibilities: |
| 12 |
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#OpenSSL |
| 13 |
it gets really messy for libraries: a gpl binary linking against a |
| 14 |
library linking against openssl means the binary can be |
| 15 |
redistributed, but not with such a library linked against openssl... |
| 16 |

the point of the 'openssl' useflag is to have something that is not |
| 18 |
enabled by default and that can be used in RESTRICT="openssl? |
| 19 |
( bindist )" expressions... |
