Steve -

Forgive my ignorance, but are you a 501(c)3?  Can you communicate that
in a signature line so it's obvious?

Do you have a list of commercial vendors who use OpenSSL?  A list of
companies that use it internally (that would be nearly everyone who
uses Linux, UNIX, *BSD, etc.)?   That would be the basis of fundraising
activity (I mean making phone calls, which is something nearly everyone
can do).  $150,000 is not an intimidating amount for anyone who's done
fundraising.
