Hi,

My 2 cents:

I would look at PolarSSL
1) http://polarssl.org/features
2) http://polarssl.org/licensing

IMO, point #2 is valuable thing to port PolarSSL to eCos.

Yet another candidate with dual licensing also would be... yaSSL
http://www.yassl.com/yaSSL/License.html

However, IANAL.

But, both these SSL libraries were designed with a word "embedded" in a
mind.

Well, OpenSSL has much muscles, but, What's about thin SSL for embedded
World (=eCos)?

Thanks,
Sergei
