Asking the Linux foundation for support is interesting. I'm sure that will in itself cause a few problems. Good work though all round.

- chamakits 12y agoCan you expand on this? Do they have a past history of conflicts? If not, this project would certainly benefit both *BSD and the Linux community. Although the LibreSSL team is currently concentrated on just targetting OpenBSD, the cleaner code base should make porting easy enough that the work in exchange for a cleaner, more secure and easier to debug code base will be worth it. It would serve the Linux foundation to keep with a more secure implementation than OpenSSL.

- chamakits 12y agoHm.... I see. I do not know if things often get political with the Linux Foundation. If they do, then this could definitely be an issue. If they don't then I can see there benefit for the Linux Foundation in funding both. LibreSSL has the benefits I previously mentioned, and OpenSSL benefits from having all the features that are being cut out by LibreSSL (FIPS probably being the biggest one). But I can see where the possible conflict could occur. Thanks for clearing things up.
