Feel free to close this as won't fix, or please correct the license terms to include an exception on the AGPLv3 code to link against OpenSSL library, or explicitly state that one needs commercial license from 10gen to have OpenSSL exception for the core. OpenSSL requires: While AGPLv3 states: See also (note referencing gpl, not agpl, but the two are similar on this grounds): |
