I did not realize that one must have money to voice an opinion. Yes, I have money. No, it wouldn't be a wise investment to throw it at OpenSSL. Some problems are subtle enough that merely throwing money at them won't make them go away. I also have the requisite talent and experience to make a sizable dent in rectifying the problems I have expressed in this library. However, that is also useless unless attitudes around the project are shifted so that such efforts would be maintained. Fixing the project requires changes at the very top of their organization all the way down. At this point, nothing short of a fork -- which OpenBSD has done with LibreSSL -- may be enough to drive this sort of change. Which is, not coincidentally, why I donate money to the OpenBSD project. LibreSSL, once it is mature, may be a good launching point for some of the ideas I have expressed here. However, I would have to see how that code base matures before making such a determination. It's a largely meaningless exercise unless people start moving to that library and away from OpenSSL.
