- Excerpt from upstream's README:
- LICENSE ISSUES
- --------------
-
- Since the 0.4.2 version the gnutls library is covered under the GNU
- Lesser GPL. Previously released versions were licensed under the GNU
- GPL.
-
- We changed the license for most of GNUTLS because other free libraries
- already exist that do the same jobs and have lax licenses. We want
- GNUTLS to be usable in all the same places as those other libraries.
- We kept some parts of GNUTLS under the GPL because they are unique,
- and with the GPL they provide free software projects (which deserve
- our help) an advantage over non-free projects (which do not deserve
- our help, since they refuse to share with us). For more explanation,
- see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html.
-
- The GNU Lesser GPL license applies to the main gnutls library, while
- the gnutls-extra library is under the GPL. The gnutls-extra library
- contains the code for "GnuTLS Inner Application" support and the
- OpenSSL compatibility layer. The gnutls library is located in the
- lib/ directory, while the gnutls-extra library is at libextra/.
