The +project is managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use +the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL tookit +and its related documentation. + +OpenSSL is based on the excellent SSLeay library developed by Eric +A. Young and Tim J. Hudson. The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under +an Apache-style licence, which basically means that you are free +to get and use it for commercial and non-commercial purposes subject +to some simple license conditions. + +OpenSSL homepage: + + http://www.openssl.org/ |
