On another note, however, I was re-reading the CryptoAPI thread and I don't think that Vladimir Vukicevic's questions were really answered from September 3rd.
Can you be a little more specific?
As far using GPL:ed libraries, that is a question that really can't be properly answered without a real court case.
Regardless of this if you want any code using a GPL:ed library in the CVS you need to convince Alexandre to change his mind.
What other questions are unanswered?
