Fabrice, All,

This sentence is incorrect. It is legally not possible to *distribute*
fetchmail when linked against LibreSSL, as the GPL conditions in that
case only trigger at the moment of distribution.

So, there should be no issue with linking fetchmail to LibreSSL for
private use without redistribution.

But: IANAL, TINLA, TTYL...

  It would be nice though if this could be mentioned in legal-info.

ISTM that the default needs to be to disable the build.
Requiring 'hoops be gone through' for a private build.

  The "hoop" is to use openssl rather than libressl. Doesn't sound too complicated.
