Hello Evan. That used to be the case but is fixed now. GnuTLS 3 depends directly and indirectly via nettle on GMP. GPM was LGPLv3+ but is dual-licensed GPLv2+/LGPLv3+ since version 6.0.0. GnuTLS 3 continues to be available under LGPLv2.1+ cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
