[OpenAFS-devel] Swapping OpenLDAP for Mozilla LDAP in ptsldap

[Matt Benjamin]

Jeff,

Sorry--didn't mean anything by that. 

I was just checking, because my understanding is that openldap's client 
license _would_ be compatible with that of OpenAFS, whereas the of 
Mozilla _would not_. 

Mozilla's ldap.h states that the license is your choice of MPL 1.1, GPL 
2.0, or LGPL 2.1.
