As for what goes for the SSL stuff; I'm aware that there are possible
patent and licensing issues for some (many?) of the algorithms provided
in the OpenSSL package. Since we have only wrapped this up for internal
try-outs, we haven't spent much effort into checking those licensing
details in any greater depth.
But since the port turned out to be pretty straightforward and the SSL
proved to be working quite well, maybe someone interested in using the
SSL would be willing to dig deeper into its licensing and patent details?
Is this my OpenSSL port?
If so, i did a tiny amount if research in this area. I basically read
that is says in the OpenSSL distribution about which parts of it are
covered by patents and licenses. I added CDL which made these parts
optionally compilable and by default disabled.
This is a start, but the standard IANAL disclaimer applies and you
should check for yourself.
