Description marinus.savoritias 2019-07-10 17:04:27 UTC
The license for GnuTLS seems to be out of date. As per their gitlab the license is:

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).

Since GnuTLS on Gentoo is now on version 3.6.7 it applies. So the license to my understanding should be LGPL-2.1+ and not just LGPL-2.1

The copying page of the project that I found the information is here:

https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/blob/master/LICENSE

redirected there from the official site located here:
https://gnutls.org/
