I have been playing with the gaim beta2 source for a little while and fixing minor bugs and so on. One of the problems was the bundled version of libgadu which would not build on FreeBSD 4.X since the compiler in that release does not have va_copy. To cut a long story short the fix applied in gaim is to use a locally installed libgadu, rather than bundle their own. The problem is that libgadu links against openssl, which causes openssl to be loaded into gaim's process space which is apparently an infringement on the GPL. the patch checked into gaim checks if the local copy of libgadu is linked against openssl and refuses to link against it if it detects openssl. Disabling openssl is apparently not a big deal since the gadugadu servers apparently do not support SSL at this time.

Hello. I think this is a very good idea. It was promised by the vendor of commercial application (Gadu-Gadu) that their servers will start serving clients securely soon. It has not happend so I agree with you it is a very good idea of disabling it. Thank you very much for your support! Aleksander Fafula
