The support for GNUTLS was requested by Debian folks because of OpenSSL
licensing paranoia. Does anybody maintain the stuff?
As the Debian maintainer I consider the GnuTLS support primarily my
responsibility at this point, so yes, I do try to respond and
investigate GnuTLS related issues. Luckily many of these get handled
through the Debian bugtracker before this side ever hears of them. But
I'm only reacting to issues that are reported to me; I'm not an active
OpenLDAP user myself.
The question is whether this is still revelavant with OpenSSL 3.0.0
moving to Apache-2.0 license [1]. [2] says APL-2.0 is not compatible
with GPLv2 though.
Unfortunately that's correct - the Apache license does not solve the
issue for binaries containing GPLv2 code without an OpenSSL exception.
