If you create a new file please be sure to add an appropriate licence header, probably something like this: // Copyright 2017-2022 Ian Jackson and contributors to Hippotat // SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later // There is NO WARRANTY. OpenSSL Licence Exception ------------------------- Additional permission under GNU GPL version 3 section 7 [LicenseRef-Hippotat-OpenSSL-Exception]: In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders give permission to link the code of this program with the OpenSSL Library (or with modified versions of OpenSSL that use the same license as OpenSSL 1.1), and distribute linked combinations including the two. BUT this does NOT apply to version 3.0 or any later version of the OpenSSL library (nor to any modified versions thereof). (We make this restriction because the exception is not needed with OpenSSL 3.) FURTHERMORE to take advantage of this exception you must obey the GNU Lesser General Public License (version 3, or, at your option, any later version) in all respects for all of the code used other than OpenSSL. This additional permission is indicated in the source code with the following SPDX licence declaration: SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later WITH LicenseRef-Hippotat-OpenSSL-Exception (which is roughly but not exactly in accordance with the SPDX spec.) If you modify a file, you may extend this exception to your version of the file, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete the exception statement from your version, changing it to: SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later The authors of Hippotat will probably withdrawn this exception in a future versions of Hippotat, when OpenSSL 3.0 (which has a GPLv3+-compatible licence) has become sufficiently widespread. But that will not affect already-released versions of hippotat.
