Git and Openssl license compatibility

+1 vote
319 views

For our project We borrowed some source code from the Git project and are going to license our code in GPLv2. But one concern is that GPLv2 is not compatible with the Openssl license. It requires an exception.
As far as I can see, Git also links with Openssl library. But I can't find an exception in the license of Git.

So what I want to ask is that, is it safe for us to use Git's code and link with Openssl library?

[HeartBleed] Apache and Upgrading OpenSSL

I'm working on doing some upgrade testing to mitigate the Heartbleed issue and some other vulnerabilities. Part of that is updating OpenSSL, but I'm a bit confused about something and am hoping that someone can help me. I've done at least a dozen internet searches and can't find the answer. It's probably simple, but I'd like to find out anyway.

What do I need to do in order to update the version of OpenSSL that is included in the Apache HTTP server release? I've installed OpenSSL 1.0.1g on the server, but the older version is still in the apache /bin directory. Do I simply replace the openssl executable or is there some kind of change that needs to be made in the httpd.conf file to point to the newer installation?

custom openssl engine on apache using mod_ssl

Now the problem is, I get a segmentation fault, whenever rsa methods in my custom openssl engine is called. I am using apache 2.4, and openssl 0.9.8e. Has anyone experienced it before?
