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/.
