right, i saw your note on gnutls-devel about the changes to tpm
licensing, thanks for staying on top of that!
The dane situation is slightly better, but still sucks. libdane
requires and links against libunbound. libunbound OTOH is linked
against OpenSSL's libssl on Debian[1]. Therefore libdane and any
program using it ends up being dynamically linked against both libssl
(OpenSSL license) and GnuTLS (LGPLv3+ via gmp).
The result is not undistributable but not very useful, since it is
e.g. GPL-incompatible.[2] Apart from that it is more than a little bit
ugly that libdane customers end up being linked against two different
major TLS toolkits.
ugh, yes, i feared this was the issue. I agree that this outcome seems
problematic. Have you pointed this out to Nikos, or thought about any
possible workaround?
(idly, i wonder if it would be possible to port libunbound to use nettle
instead of openssl's libcrypto)
