Hi Simon,

RMS asked if there are is reason GnuTLS should remain LGPLv2.1+ instead

The reasons I'm familiar with includes lynx under GPLv2-only. Gnucash
is also said to contain GPLv2-only code.
Are there other reasons not to use LGPLv3+?
There are a number of applications out there that are GPLv2-only,
including the project I work on (http://www.bongo-project.org/). OpenSSL
isn't available for those who can't relicense their projects, so not
having GnuTLS be available would be a big blow.
I recall hearing about policies that mandate LGPLv2.1+ in some projects,
for example the core libraries in GNOME, but I cannot find any reference
to this out there. Anyone?
IIRC, Gtk+ hackers have talked about moving to LGPLv3, but nothing has
actually been agreed.
Cheers,
Alex.
