It doesn't read as if "replace dependencies on [L]GPLv3 components" or<br>
"moving away from GPLv3" would charcterize it correctly.<br>
<br>
It says to create a *configuration* for the small subset of Yocto users <br>
who do not want to have GPLv3 code on their target.<br>
<br>
For these users it is clear that they want to use openssl if they use<br>
glib-networking,[1] and that they want to stick with busybox applets<br>
instead of bash and all the GNU utilities.<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Right, I was a little too strong there; I didn't mean to imply that anyone is proposing to completely remove GPLv3, just provide alternatives that aren't meta-gplv2.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
