Comment 5 for bug 1860807

Please be aware the upstream fix is that Debian Legal and Technical teams finally decided to make it a matter of policy that OpenSSL was to be considered a core part of Debian rather than just a normal third-party library. That opens the GPL exception clause for incompatible core system licenses.

I am not sure of the policy position Ubuntu has about OpenSSL. It will need to match that new Debian policy for the package to be imported from Debian with the --with-openssl option intact.
