And the exclusion of EAP/TLS is due to the well documented conflict between the GPL license of rlm_eap_tls and the OpenSSL license, which makes distributing binaries of rlm_eap_tls that link against openssl impossible, legally.
Given that the authors of the software are aware of the problem, wouldn't it be simply possible to modify the licence accordingly? So you end up with a software being distributed under GPL with the exception that it's explicitly allowed to distribute binaries linked against non-(L)GPL'ed open source libraries? How do companies distributing products based on FreeRADIUS handle this? That does seem like a problem to me. Do they deliver boxes with compiler and sources installed, with a startup- script that automatically starts compilation on the first power-up of the machine and then removes itself, so it's formally the customer who is compiling things? Seems ridiculuous to me ... Regards, Stefan
