OpenSSL library

This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project ( http://www.openssl.org/ ).

The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library.

OpenSSL is based on the excellent SSLeay library developed by Eric A. Young and Tim J. Hudson. The OpenSSL toolkit is under a dual license - both the conditions of the OpenSSL License and the original SSLeay license apply to the toolkit. See below for the actual license texts.

For more information on the OpenSSL license, refer to: http://www.openssl.org/source/license.html
