Hi, I has a question about the license of gnutls, I don't know whether it is a bug. In gnutls-3.6.13/LICENSE, the content is as following: ------------------------------------------------------------------ LICENSING ========= Since GnuTLS version 3.1.10, the core library is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 or later (see doc/COPYING.LESSER for the license terms). The GNU LGPL applies to the main GnuTLS library, while the included applications as well as gnutls-openssl library are under the GNU GPL version 3. The gnutls library is located in the lib/ and libdane/ directories, while the applications in src/ and, the gnutls-openssl library is at extra/. ...... ------------------------------------------------------------------ I think it means that all the license in lib/ is under the license of LGPL-2.1+. But the license of lib/x509/krb5.h and lib/x509/krb5.c is GPL-3.0+. Obviously, it is conflict with the content of LICENSE file. So, I don't know is it a bug or do I understand. Best regards Lei Maohui
