Licensing Information

Open Source Used In Cisco ISSI Gateway 4.8(1) 1249
We changed the license for most of GNUTLS because other free libraries
already exist that do the same jobs and have lax licenses. We want
GNUTLS to be usable in all the same places as those other libraries.
We kept some parts of GNUTLS under the GPL because they are unique,
and with the GPL they provide free software projects (which deserve
our help) an advantage over non-free projects (which do not deserve
our help, since they refuse to share with us). For more explanation,
see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html.
The GNU Lesser GPL license applies to the main gnutls library, while the
gnutls-extra library is under the GPL. The gnutls-extra library contains
the code for the "OpenPGP key" support and the OpenSSL compatibility layer.
The gnutls library is located in the lib/ directory, while the gnutls-extra
library is at libextra/.

 Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
these things.
