[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/6] gnutls: update legal info

[Yann E. MORIN]

Rahul, All,

On 2016-07-04 18:16 +0530, Rahul Bedarkar spake thusly:
> GnuTLS core library is licensed under LGPLv2.1+ while gnutls-openssl
> library is licensed under GPLv3+. Annotate the license with components.

What do you call "core library" and "gnutls-openssl library"?

Do you consider libdane to be that "gnutls-openssl library" you talk
about?

I've looked at the source, and libdane is (at least partially) LGPLv3:

    libdane/errors.c:
    [--SNIP--]
     * libdane is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
     * modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License
     * as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of
     * the License, or (at your option) any later version.
    [--SNIP--]

Could you please review the situation and provide a bit more
explanations as to what is what, please?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
