Since Julia uses libgit2, which is in turn built using OpenSSL, are we OK with using OpenSSL derivatives elsewhere within Julia or are there licensing issues with the dual-licensed OpenSSL stuff?\r\n\r\nIf there _are_ licensing issues associated with the use of OpenSSL in Julia, does Julia's reliance on libgit2 (and libgit2's reliance on OpenSSL) pose any problem?\r\n\r\n(Bottom line: I'd love to be able to use OpenSSL within Julia without having to worry about license restrictions / violations. IANAL. Please tell me how to do this.)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/JuliaLang/julia/issues/comments/146468201","html_url":"https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/10763#issuecomment-146468201","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/JuliaLang/julia/issues/10763","id":146468201,"user":{"login":"nalimilan","id":1120448,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1120448?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/nalimilan","html_url":"https://github.com/nalimilan","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nalimilan/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nalimilan/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nalimilan/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nalimilan/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nalimilan/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nalimilan/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nalimilan/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nalimilan/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nalimilan/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-10-08T09:20:09Z","updated_at":"2015-10-08T09:20:09Z","body":"But does it make any difference where libgit2 comes from (system vs. bundled)?
