Nonsense.

Besides, you can just distribute OpenSSL for Windows and Lynx for
Windows separately. OpenSSL implements a public interface (and in
fact GnuTLS speaks some of that as well) and is fairly standard.

I'd still get the copyright holders (not every single contribution
is worth enough, you know) permission though.

Some of the code is probably pre-GPL too, so people who contribu-
ted in pre-GPL times don't need to be traced.
