Thanks!

Do I read this correctly that they include some kind of
anti-military license in there? I mean I am very much welcoming
such an exclusion but with all the past discussions I had it lead
to the point where it is not compatible with free software.

Do we have to strip OCB from the source?
https://github.com/Legrandin/pycryptodome/blob/master/LICENSE.rst

Pycryptodome is a dependency of streamlink.

The question is about the OCB block cipher mode. I think we are able to
distribute implementations of it:

http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/ocb/ocb-faq.htm#patent:phil
http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/ocb/ocb-faq.htm#license

With regards to this bug, can someone help to get the facts clear here
so that we know what needs to be done to package streamlink?

Thanks.

See also the copyright file that Debian have written:

    http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/p/pycryptodome/pycryptodome_3.4.7-1_copyright

License 1 applies to free software implementations.  That’s already
enough for us.

License 2 applies to non-free implementations.  There the author
distinguishes between non-military and military uses.

License 3 is an explicit grant for OpenSSL.
