Update the README to reflect this change. --- diff --git a/README b/README index be27c6868e..beff45eeb1 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -104,11 +104,13 @@ LICENSING Since GnuTLS version 3.1.10, the core library has been released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 or later. -Note, however, that new versions of the gmplib library used by GnuTLS -are distributed under LGPLv3, and as such binaries of this library -need to be distributed under LGPLv3.
