Oh right, they're claiming that they can't distribute freeradius using
postgresql because postgresql links to OpenSSL. freeradius is GPL which
makes for an incompatabilty. Not something PostgreSQL is responsible
for, given Debian could compile without SSL and the problem would be
solved.

About the only thing we could do is support GnuTLS, but that's about
it.

Have a nice day,
