Comment 7 for bug 16320

SSL support was removed in the previous lftp version, because of a
license problem with openssl.

But at the end of the README of lftp the author says explicitly :

"In addition, as a special exception, permission is given to link the
code of this release of lftp with the OpenSSL project's "OpenSSL"
library (or with modified versions of it that use the same license as
the "OpenSSL" library), and distribute the linked executables. You
must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of
the code used other than "OpenSSL". If you modify this file, you may
extend this exception to your version of the file, but you are not
obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception
statement from your version."

The maintainer of msmtp keeps the ssl support (Bug #305159), he just
includes proper information in /usr/share/doc/<package>/copyright.

Could you please re-enable ssl support in lftp ?

Is this bug the reason why lftp was removed from sarge ?
