Linking:
-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 libraries 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.
+As a special exception to the GPLv2, the Bacula Project gives
+permission to link the code of its release of Bacula 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
+a particular 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 this exception
+to apply to your code, clearly indicate so in the file.
