Hello,

GnuTLS is pondering a license switch from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+/GPLv2+ dual
license. GnuTLS itself links dynamically against GMP which is already
LGPLv3+/GPLv2+ dual licensed. So afaict this should not make a difference,
gnutls rdeps already need a license which compatible with LGPLv3+ or
GPLv2+.

Are we missing something?

TIA, cu Andreas
