" I am sure I wrote more GNU GPL software than you did." - Ok but how does that relate to my statement that I am grateful for people that stick to the GPL?

If it were a matter of license incompatibility then you could also choose the NSS library (formerly from mozilla) which is used in all major browsers (so you already use it every day). It has a different but equally awful API than OpenSSL, but has received also a ton more scrutiny and certification than GnuTLS. Understand that I have nothing against GnuTLS per se, it just lacks tons of features and scrutiny that openssl and NSS already have.
