openssl licensing issue #24

Open bzed opened 2 years ago

Hi,

actually I'm working on creating a hawkeye package to be uploaded to Debian, but unfortunately I found some licensing issues that will make sure our ftp masters will reject the package. While you've added an openssl exception for your code, there are

src/src/v4l2uvc.*
src/jpeg_utils.c
src/huffman.h

which you don't seem to have to copyright for. Those files are under gpl2+ and don't have an openssl exception. Annoying thing, but Debian is rather strict about such things.

Could you use gnutls instead of openssl? Waiting for openssl3 might also be an option as they've changed the license. Just not sure when it will hit unstable.

My not yet finished work is at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/hawkeye/ you might want to pick some things like the systemd service.

Thanks, Bernd
