OpenBSD is great but it has its own agenda. Linux Foundation does have a Linux in it, maybe that tells something.
Plus, Libressl can pull in whatever changes future openssl will have. I think it's a win-win for both sides.
I used OpenBSD in the past, but nowadays it's all Linux for everything, from server to desktop to my cellphone.
- baq 13y agoalso i don't think there's anything stopping the Linux Foundation from sponsoring libressl porting effort.
- the_ancient 13y agoI think the opposite will be true... openssl will be pulling in what libressl does, and it probally not be long before many of the distro's drop openssl...
- sliverstorm 13y agoAlternative possibility: OpenSSL & LibreSSL pull from eachother, but OpenSSL incorporates more new features sooner. Banks run LibreSSL- much as they run OpenSSL 0.98 today- and hip new startups that want New Feature X run OpenSSL- much as they run OpenSSL 1.0.1f today.
