xiebopublic> Does openSSL licence permit to tailor openSSL? e.g., we only need

strict
xiebopublic> footprint limitation requirement).
If you read the license, you will see that it starts with
"Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are
met"
Tailoring is a modification.
Then again, exactly what do you need? If you link with the static
library and ONLY call the low-level SHA512 routines, those routines
are the only footprint that OpenSSL will leave in your proigram.
