it would be nice if you can bring the question to
debian-legal at lists.debian.org and ask their opinion.

Could you ask the advice of some of those lawyers also this time? the
process to have a legal consult in Debian is quite long and costy, and
we'd like to leave it to real serious matters.

Any help in clarify the legality of pycurl -> openssl would be a great
step forward.

I understand your point, but having a legal issue on one side, I'd
rather be on the other safe one.
