Hi Hans,

This is OK with me and I'll add a similar exception for linking OpenSSL to gkrellm
for the next release.

If you want to do an OpenSSL linked against the current gkrellm 2.3.1 package
for Fedora in the meantime, you can consider this email permission to do so.

Oh, and sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  I've been doing a lot of
house remodeling lately :(

Bill
