[gnutls-devel] libgmp re-licensing and its effect on GnuTLS

Hi GnuTLS folks--

It looks like libgmp is re-licensing to use LGPL3+ and GPL2+:

  https://gmplib.org/repo/gmp/rev/02634effbd4e

This suggests that the licensing requirements for works derived from
gnutls now have a different bar to meet.  in particular, i think it
means that GPLv2-only applications linked against modern versions of
GnuTLS should now be redistributable again.

Regards,
