For now the LICENSE file says: 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). but later on: Note, however, that the nettle and the gmp libraries which are GnuTLS dependencies, they are distributed under a LGPLv3+ or GPLv2+ dual license. As such binaries linking to them need to adhere to either LGPLv3+ or the GPLv2+ license. I'm wondering if it would cause any problem to explicitly license the core library as a LGPLv3+ or GPLv2+ dual license. Does anyone know of any use-case where LGPLv2 is required?
