Oh so you want it for free? And without giving back your work to the public?

Oh.

Admittedly, OpenSSL's Apache license allows for that usage case, so it's technically a fair question when comparing alternatives.

Oh, yes.

Like all the code I've contributed with no reciprocation demanded.

Well then keep using those kind of licenses, and openssl, and we the others will gladly use GPL kind of licenses, and move to gnutls and/or polarssl.

This argument is old, BSD vs Linux old since the 1990s.

I guess you are using BSD kernels, runtimes and compilers on your phones and super-computers too?
