vpnc + openssl

Hello,

I'd like to use certificates for authentication, and apparently I can
do this by compiling vpnc with openssl support. This means breaking
the license.

I saw that Fedora has a compatiblity library nss_compat_ossl
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CryptoConsolidationEval) that would
allow NSS to be used in place of OpenSSL. This wouldn't break the
license, and would allow vpnc with certificate support to be
distributed downstream.

Are there any plans for this? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

JM
Just another vpnc user.

nss_compat_ossl just changed license to MIT to promote inclusion in
other projects.
