CUPS is now linked against OpenSSL (and will stay GPLv2-only)

I think OdyX is asking for more from GMP than is necessary; note that
Andreas earlier pointed out that GMP just needs to be GPL2+/LGPLv3+.

This is exactly what libgmp (in particular, Torbjorn Granlund
<tege at gmplib.org>) appears to have decided to do as of yesterday:

Changelog:
  https://gmplib.org/repo/gmp/rev/02634effbd4e
Huge diff with licensing changes:
  https://gmplib.org/repo/gmp/rev/da670a8513db 

So i believe this makes the GPLv2-only CUPS re-distributable again when
linked to modern versions of GnuTLS.

Happy Hacking,
