That's a good point. My only reason for doing this was completeness. In other word, I've wrapped various other pieces of functionality of the OPenSSL library and maybe it makes sense to do so here as well. > > What's the license for this work?

It will be BSD, which is the same as the existing framework it's eventually going to be part of (more on that here: http://vcf-online.org).

True, but I wanted to set them up such that they "play well" with the existing way that my other framework does things.
