aiui, the problem here is actually a former OpenSSL hacker who has no
interest (and, in fact, a positive interest against) in changing the
OpenSSL licensing. Most of the current OpenSSL hackers don't have an
issue with the change (again, aiui).

Yes, which makes it suck. :(

I'm curious about this, but I don't know that I've got time to dive into
it and solve it. :/

That suprises me.. There are a ton of tools which work with GnuTLS
today, and hearing that it's got serious issues isn't good. :/
Thanks,
