Re: Proposal for a new extension: gnuTLS

The extension uses the gnuTLS library version 3. There was a licence change to LGPL v3, that's right. But after reading the LGPL (especially the part about using the library's functions in a combined product like an extension) I don't worry about legal issues. I didn't change the source code of the library. Raik Am 30.08.2011 14:33, schrieb Pierre Joye: > hi, > > One point where I'm really not sure about is the license.
