Add the OpenSSL exception
The GNU GPL and the OpenSSL license are incompatible. Some distributions take a hardline stance and do not consider OpenSSL to be a systems library (which would permit the usage/distribution of OpenSSL) when distributing apps such as OfflineImap from the same repository. In order to solve these distributions dilemma, we add the OpenSSL exception to our GNU GPL v2+ license. This allows for unambiguous use/distribution of our GNU GPL'ed application with a python linking to openssl. Consent of all contributors has been requested via email by Sebastian@SSpaeth.de. With very few exceptions of minor contributions (which might or might not by copyright-worthy) all past contributors have consented to adding the OpenSSL exception. None of the replying authors has disagreed with adding the exception.
