Reading from the the copyrights file of the gnutls package on my system:

| The GNU Lesser GPL license applies to the main gnutls library, while the
| gnutls-extra library is under the GPL. The gnutls-extra library contains
| the "SRP authentication" source code, and code for the "Openpgp key"
| support. The gnutls library is located in the lib/ directory, while the 
| gnutls-extra library is at libextra/.

Is that functionality currently used in Asterisk?

And not that openssl is without its headaches. Please read the openssl
license and tell me that you comply with item 3 of it.
