A great news for everyone for writes GPL code that needs crypto.
When the FSF bugs you, you tell them that your code is intended to be used with GNUTLS
:-)
Unfortunately, it just won't work with the current version, but users have the choice
to get the source code of GNUTLS and debug it or to get OpenSSL and get going.
If you distribute pre-compiled code (a linux distribution ?), just distribute the
pre-compiled GNUTLS in addition to OpenSSL, and have a choice at some point between
using the GNUTLS or OpenSSL library for crypto, with a big warning that it just won't
work if you choose GNUTLS, because it's only an alpha version.
