Bug#534243: openoffice.org-core: Please switch to libneon27-gnutls
Package: openoffice.org-core
Version: 1:3.1.0-5
Severity: wishlist
openoffice.org-core uses libneon27, which is linked with OpenSSL.
Looking at the licences this seems to be OK.
But other (GPL'ed) applications mistakenly linked with libneon27
instead of libneon27-gnutls are a source of GPL violations.
Getting libneon27 phased out would therefore be a good thing, and
having openoffice.org-core as one of only two remaining users moved
would be one step of decreasing it's usage.
It would also avoid some surprising effects of LGPL+OpenSSL in
Openoffice.org (impossibility of the plain LGPL->GPL conversion).
