[rsyslog] openssl vs rsyslog

[Michael Biebl]

Hi Rainer,

I noticed that you added an openssl configure check. That probably
means, that you plan to add native SSL support via openssl. Please
note that OpenSSL and the GPL are incompatible [1], such packages are
usually rejected from Debian. You have two options:
 - Either add a special exemption for OpenSSL
 - Use another SSL implementation like GnuTLS [2] or NSS [3]


Cheers,
Michael
