I imagine, taking the GPL2 plus OpenSSL case, if someone licences their 
original work with additional permission that it may be linked with 
OpenSSL, Someone receiving that can link it with code having only the 
core GPL permissions, resulting in work that lacks the OpenSSL 
permission.  They must drop the additional permission in deriving the 
composite licence, otherwise the composite would not be distributable.

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
