Mailman and S/MIME: OpenSSL licensing vs GPGME
Hi,
I am working on integrating PGP and S/MIME with Mailman (see http://non-gnu.uvt.nl/pub/mailman/ and my previous post http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2005-March/017974.html). The PGP stuff works, I am now working with pyme (http://pyme.sourceforge.net/) and GPGME to get S/MIME stuff done.
I've found out the hard way that GPGME is pretty rough on the edges and am considering moving to OpenSSL (e.g. using pyOpenSSL or M2Crypto). I would really like to get my patch used by a lot of people, and it would really rock if one day the patch could get shipped with the upstream Mailman distribution. Now, would using a Python OpenSSL library diminish my chances, e.g. because of licensing issues? And should I therefore stick with GPGME?
Thanks for any insight.
Bye,
Joost
