- tytso 12y agoThe CII is not funding the OpenSSL Foundation; it is directly funding two OpenSSL developers, so they can work on whatever is best for OpenSSL, instead of whatever feature improvements contracted by the OpenSSL Foundation. As a result, the people behind the OpenSSL Foundation are NOT taking a cut of the monies from the CII.
- pjscott 12y agoThe tech companies want OpenSSL to improve, and are willing to pay money; the OpenSSL guys will improve OpenSSL if paid money. What's the problem here?
