I'm glad y'all are working it out. The licensing for that stuff really is confusing, and discourages the use of that code.
It's worse in OpenSSL because the x86 and ARM adaptations are licensed under the OpenSSL/Cryptograms licenses instead of BSD/Apache. Big chunks are labeled as transliterations of the X64 code, so I'd expect them to also be BSD/Apache licensed. Also, it isn't clear what Andy Polyakov's significant improvements of the the X64 code mean for the copyright, licensing, and re-licensing from Apache to dual BSD/Apache. In other words, it seems the copyright lines should, at a minimum, mention Andy's copyright, and it should be made clearer whether Andy agrees to dual license his contributions under the BSD/Apache dual license.
