Description Michal Srb 2013-05-28 08:07:56 UTC
Description of problem:

Upstream tarball contains source code of nodejs dependencies, including openssl. openssl sources contain some patented code (RC5, EC, possibly more). I think that Fedora should distribute nodejs SRPM without those patented parts.

Comment 1 T.C. Hollingsworth 2013-05-29 02:44:58 UTC
Luckily we don't use the bundled code at all so we can just delete the bundled copy of OpenSSL wholesale, avoiding the need to keep track of what's okay and what's not.  I'm going to push a 0.10.7 update soon and I'll make sure the tarball is stripped for that update.
