Comment 5 for bug 5973

The above statemant is wrong. In discussion with jsled, and warlord, 2 of the major developers of GnuCash, the following is the case:

Quote from README from AqBanking where he specifically allows linking against OpenSSL.
AqBanking is licensed under the GPL (see below).

If you want to use AqBanking in non-GPL software you can get an individual
license from the author (<email address hidden>).
As the copyright holder of AqBanking, Martin Preuss grants the following
license exception:
Martin Preuss explicitly allows the compilation and distribution of
AqBanking with the OpenSSL Toolkit.
No developer is required to provide this exception in a derived work.

So there shouldn't be any bug about it. Please reopen if you still belive it is wrong, and have other info on it.
