[Fedora-legal-list] GPL exceptions for kvirc

[Alexey Torkhov]

Hi.

I'm looking over kvirc package
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492690

and it contains GPL license with following addition:
---
  13. As a special exception, Szymon Stefanek gives permission to link this
program with Qt non-commercial edition for Windows, and distribute the
resulting executable, without including the source code for the Qt
non-commercial edition in the source distribution. The Qt non-commercial
edition library is covered by the  Qt Non-Commercial license.
See http://www.trolltech.com for informations.

  14. As a special exception, Szymon Stefanek gives permission to link this
program 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 file(s), you may extend this exception to your version
of the file(s), but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do
so, delete this exception statement from your version.
---

Will it be appropriate to use "GPLv2+ with exceptions" as license field?

Full text of their license could be found here:

It is a bit strange that openssl is incompatible with GPL. It looks to
me that quite some number of GPLed projects could use openssl without
noticing this.
