Hi List,
Can somebody confirm that Ubuntu seriously compiled Bacula in 8.04
without TLS after having it enabled in 7.10?
Or am I just being dumb?
Debian upstream disabled it:
README.Debian:
bacula (2.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
* SSL/TLS has been disabled in this version of Bacula due to licensing
concerns. See README.Debian and the thread at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/07/msg00144.html for more
details.
NEWS.Debian
Due to licensing concerns (see NEWS.Debian), SSL/TLS is disabled in
current
Debian builds. This disables both encryption for the on-the-wire
protocol as well as encryption of the backed-up data.
Kern specifically allows linking against OpenSSL in the Bacula, and
has removed any GPL code that can not contain this exception:
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".
I guess Debian considers the OpenSSL license and the GPL license
incompatible, and removed support prior to Kern's changes.
The whole issue is a bit droll.
