Serious question: why is GnuTLS very often not considered as an alternative to OpenSSL?

  One but really important reason: https://gitorious.org/gnutls/gnutls/source/39aaa63a1a4cb8432e090887f38241afb2b264a6:COPYING https://gitorious.org/gnutls/gnutls/source/39aaa63a1a4cb8432... vs. http://www.openssl.org/source/license.html http://www.openssl.org/source/license.html

    Also, it uses `strlen` and `strcat` on binary data: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200802/msg00072.html http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200802/msg00072...

    GnuTLS is LGPL 2.1+: https://gitorious.org/gnutls/gnutls/source/39aaa63a1a4cb8432e090887f38241afb2b264a6:README#L103-107 https://gitorious.org/gnutls/gnutls/source/39aaa63a1a4cb8432... not GPL 3 as that file seems to imply
