Hi all,

A question on licensing issue: For using openssl libraries for commercial
applications, is there any licensing issues? Do we have to attach any
license for the same?

OpenSSL is available under BSD-style license so you can use it, modify it and distribute in binary form only as part of commercial applicaiton. But you do need to include the copyright notice. See the LICENSE file for the details. The most interesting paragraph:

 * 1. Redistributions of source code must retain the copyright
 *    notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.
 * 2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright
 *    notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the
 *    documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
* 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
 *    must display the following acknowledgement:
 *    "This product includes cryptographic software written by
 *     Eric Young ([EMAIL PROTECTED])"
* The word 'cryptographic' can be left out if the rouines from the library
 *    being used are not cryptographic related :-).
* 4. If you include any Windows specific code (or a derivative thereof) from * the apps directory (application code) you must include an acknowledgement: * "This product includes software written by Tim Hudson ([EMAIL PROTECTED])"
