After some more investigation of the latest SVN snapshot I've found out there's
a license incompatibility involved in this project. The HTTPS part of
libmicrohttpd makes use of a (bundled and modified copy of) opencdk and
openpgp. Both these projects are licensed under the GPLv2+ (opencdk) and GPLv3+
(openpgp) licenses. If libmicrohttpd really is LGPLv2+ this is a license
incompatibility as these licenses don't mix.

There are also some other files which are still licensed under the GPLv2+
license, but as these are only testcases they are valid (they aren't bundled in
the RPM files anyway).

I've reported this issue at upstream's bugtracker:
https://gnunet.org/mantis/view.php?id=1404

If upstream doesn't respond in a few days, I'll disable HTTPS support in the
package until the issue is really solved, but for now we'll have to wait for
more clearance.
