License:
-For the most part, Bacula is licensed under the GPL version 2
-this code is listed under Copyright Free Software Foundation
-Europe e.V. A small part of the code (less than 10 files) is
-copyrighted under the GPL by FSF, or under BSD licenses by various
-authors (see below).

+For the most part, Bacula is licensed under the GPL version 2 this

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".
+
+As a special exception to the GPLv2, the Bacula Project gives
+permission to link the code of its release of the Bacula Win32 File
+daemon with the Microsoft supplied Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) libraries
+and distribute the linked executables. You must obey the GNU General
+Public License in all respects for all of the code used other than for
+the Microsoft VSS code, where you must obey their license terms.
+
+The Bacula Project gives permission for plugins with GPLv2 compatible
+licenses to be loaded and distributed with the Bacula executables as
+long as the combined work is distributed under the terms listed in the
+Bacula LICENSE file. A full list of GPLv2 compatible licenses can be
+found at: http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/. If you wish to load
+or distribute plugins with different licensing terms please contact
+the Bacula Project at: license@bacula.org
