<pre wrap="">About the issue at hand, I'm unsure what is the current Debian stands on the
OpenSSL license these days. The libssl backend is more tested upstream so it
might be worth migrating, but some that also means forcing the OpenSSL
license to some dowstream packages which might not be nice.

<pre wrap="">Upcoming OpenSSL 3.0.0 has been relicensed to Apache License v2 so it should
help (but maybe not for GPL-2 stuff) but we're not there yet, so better keep
to gnutls for now.</pre>

<p>Noted for the list, I will do that next time.</p>
<p>For some context the gnutls vs openssl came as part of that
Ubuntu report<br>

upstream equivalent<br>

<p>The summary is basically <br>
'If I build with gnutls, I can plug in, establish trust and browse
around just fine, but any attempt to copy a file to the device
makes no progress. Sits there at 0% forever.'</p>
<p>I was checking on other distributions and noticed that fedora
switched to build with openssl 'as the gnutls backend keeps
breaking' so I was wondering if we should do the same in Debian
(and also Ubuntu)</p>
<p>What's the licensing issue exactly with using openssl there, the
library has a limited set of rdepends, do we expect switching
would be an issue for any of those?</p>
