> OpenSSL does not only have BSD license contrary to this project, it's also well known for huge amount of deadly security vulnerabilities, even before heartbleed.
> It would be nice if I could avoid bringing in such a library just because of Asterisk - having support for GnuTLS will let the user to make such a choice.
> Using http://www.gnutls.org/manual/html_node/Compatibility-with-the-OpenSSL-library.html will aid with the transition.
