[#28561] Ruby::DL vs Ruby::FFI — Aston <blackapache512-ticket@...>

Ruby.DL and FFI libraries are great for programmers like me who are not internet programmers, but are more interested in scientific and number processing etc.

[ruby-core:28735] [Bug #2982] Ruby tries to link with both openssl and readline

Bug #2982: Ruby tries to link with both openssl and readline

Hi,

Ruby currently tries to link with both OpenSSL (which is under the SSL license), and Readline (GPL).
This is not allowed. For more information, see for example http://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html and http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-legal@lists.debian.org/msg38757.html .

I have heard of a legal decision that makes this OK for scripting languages if the two libraries aren't loaded by default in the same address space.

A possible solution could be to port Ruby to use the GNU TLS library.
