The current version of nettle 2.7 has one file that is GPL v3.
mini-gmp.*
so the license for 2.7 should be updated IMHO. So wont that put us in the
same boat as the upgrade?
Ouch, that's no good!
Ideally, we should look at that file and see for how long it's been part
of nettle. If it's just for a short time, maybe we could go back to a
point in time just prior to the inclusion (or license change) of that
file.
this file has been in nettle for two years. It was introduced with th
2.7 release. Parts of that file are pulled from the gmp project.
Has it been like this for far too long, well, then we either have to see
what impact this has on non-GPLv3 builds...
Does "Lesser" GPLv3 count? Looked a the file again and 'Lesser' is near
the beginning of the paragraph before 'version 3'.
Does this change things for nettle 2.7?

One option, depending on the age etc, could be to check if it's possible
to get that single file re-licensed. Short-term, we have to fix the
license and backport that fix to all supported versions that are
affected, even though that might introduce regressions in images around
the world...
Cheers,
Anders
