Having the upstream author recognise this means we can make the change but we need to quote that in the patch with a reference, specifically the comment: "I see from the log that I'm the only one who touched this file, so as far as I'm concerned this is the same license as the rest of gnutls. Feel free to update the license to right one." and a reference that if came from https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1018 We have to be extremely careful about licence changes like this. If we can backport an upstream patch that would be even better. Cheers, Richard
