- palata 2y agoI truly respect OpenBSD, but I hope they won't end up writing openopenssl :-) (I will admit: I had to check and openssh is actually "the OpenBSD Secure Shell" project, so I guess it makes sense :-) ).
- ronsor 2y agoSorry, OpenBSD already wrote libressl and libtls
- palata 2y agoWell "libressl" doesn't sound like an open-source rewrite of the proprietary "openssl" :-). I don't really get the point about libtls, though. But I get it, OpenBSD has been using Open* as a prefix for many projects, I didn't know it :-).
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoThey called their openssl fork libressl - I assume because of exactly that naming conflict - but most of their "exports" follow the convention; OpenBSD, OpenSMTPD, OpenNTPD, OpenSSH. Possibly others that I don't know off the top of my head.
- bentley 2y agoFun fact, the “open” in OpenBSD doesn’t refer to open source licensing, but to an open development process, including the ability to anonymously checkout the CVS repository without an account, which was a novelty in the 90s.
