I think GnuTLS is probably the second most popular TLS library, after openssl. Though actually, maybe, firefox's NSS is now that I think about it a second more. Firefox is at least some fraction of C-library-based ssl traffic out there

I agree that statement is factually incorrect, but I still don't think it changes the overall information in my comment in any meaningful way. The actual risk is low, the risk if of GPL infringement, not of oracle suing you, and there
