We also use gnutls (and nettle, and thus gmp) in VLC media player. While technically our code is GPLv2 or later, we would prefer to distribute binaries under GPLv2, as stated in our press release: http://www.videolan.org/press/2007-1.html To remain compatible with GPLv2 we are using an old release (4.2.1) http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=commitdiff;h=7e69850c6cf579dc01ff2e7c20caceef9b71867b;hp=7b3e31f94abd5b71f26ec096b78520e57cd887f4 which lacks for example compatibility with Windows 64bits, and according to Martin Storsjö, it also gives problems on MacOSX. I'm willing to help you with dual-licensing LGPLv3/GPLv2 as it would very much help us on VLC. > I know almost nothing about CUPS.
