GPLv2. I think it's a relatively new project; and considering how many distros' repositories *we're* in, I don't think that's the most accurate way to determine a project's license ;-) Their download page doesn't seem to like Dillo, so here's the source for the version I use: http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/deps/cyassl-2.0.0rc1.zip On Thu, 07 Jul 2011 03:28:51 -0400, Roger <rogerx.oss@gmail.com> wrote:

Yup, polarssl is included within Gentoo Portage. ( ...and likely the other Linux distros.)
Unfortunately their build system is badly broken on Windows; neither the included Makefile nor cmake can produce a working library, at least not on my system. I'm not against it, I just wouldn't be able to implement or use it myself. Again, CyaSSL support isn't really for desktop Linux users, since everyone and their brother already includes OpenSSL. But it could be nice for embedded systems that don't need/can't support OpenSSL's additional features or overhead. And of course, it trims bloat on Windows, where we don't really have a sane or consistently available system SSL library. ~Benjamin
