This is slightly insane. How can they release something as Apache License if they aren't even giving out the name of the developers? Exactly WHO is licensing this source code?

There are many open source crypto libraries and it's probably not the wisest to use one authored by anonymous developers

Why would somebody have to list their name to Apache license something?
