At some point the license may be upgraded to LGPLv3. Or dual license
LGPLv3 and GPLv2+. The latter, more complex, alternative would be
helpful for you, right?

Right.

Copying code from libgcrypt is fine. In general, to make it as easy as possible 
to
integrate patches, it's nice if they include:

1. An authoritative reference for the implemented algorithm.

2. Test cases.

3. Documentation.

4. And then both interface and implementation should try to follow
   nettle conventions.
