Hello,
Which is no problem for exim itself because exim's license explicitely
relaxes GPL to allow linking against OpenSSL. However using GnuTLS
allows us to link exim against other GPL licensed code. (We do not do
that currently but we used to link against a version of mysql which
was licensed as GPL.)
