Linking:
-Bacula may be linked with any libraries permitted under the GPL,
-or with any non-GPLed libraries, including OpenSSL, that are
-required for its proper functioning, providing the source code of
-those non-GPLed libraries is non-proprietary and freely
-available to the public.
+Bacula may be linked with any libraries permitted under the GPL.
+However, if configured with encryption Bacula does use the
+OpenSSL libraries which are, unfortunately, not compatible with
+GPL v2. To the best of our knowledge these libaries are not
+distributed with Bacula code because they are shared objects, and
+as such there is no conflict with the GPL according what I (Kern)
+understand in talking to FSFE, and in any case, for the code that
+I have written, I have no problems linking in OpenSSL (of course
+this does not speak for the few files in Bacula that are
+copyrighted by others). If you take a more severe stance on this
+issue, and you are going to distribute Bacula, then simply do not
+use the --with-openssl when building your package, and no use of
+OpenSSL even through dynamic linking will be included.
