+Maintainer(s): Cactus team
+Licence : ?
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1. Purpose
+
+Distribute the OpenSSL library; see <http://www.openssl.org/>.
+
+
+
+From the web site:
+
+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. The project is managed by a worldwide community of
+volunteers that use the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop the
+OpenSSL toolkit 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.
