+(Policy change effective April, 2005.)
+</p>
+<p>
+Due to the apparent incompatibilty of the OpenSSL license with the GPL and 
+LGPL licenses, fink packages which link to openssl but are licensed under 
+the GPL or LGPL are marked as "Restrictive."  As a consequence, the Fink 
+project will not distribute binaries of such packages, although users are 
+free to compile them from source at their discretion.
+</p>
+<p>
+Package maintainers are encouraged to record the original package license in 
+the <code>DescPackaging</code> field.
