Ummm.. :-) I don't agree.

====
Some GPL software copyright holders claim that you infringe on their rights if
you use OpenSSL with their software on operating systems that don't normally
include OpenSSL.
====

We're not affected by this. The first point is that the Cherokee copyright
owner (at this moment me) won't "attack" to the OpenSSL guys. :-) The second
one is that we (the cherokee team) are addind SSL support, so "you use
OpenSSL with their software" hasn't sense in this case. :))

Ummm.. :) great reference!
It'll be very useful :-)
