Good on you for sending that apology. I thought it was inappropriate to label that commenter to dismiss his point of view. I also think Steve addressed his cynical comments well, the part about taking money from anyone as long as it comes with no strings attached is wrong, IMHO. That can be easily tested by imagining the worst possible source of money and it may be different for each person, but let's say it's the government of North Korea... Even if no strings, it would damage the perception people have of OpenSSL just being associated with that entity. So, just be mindful of people's perceptions when accepting anything.

My posting was a mistake. (I meant to cancel my posting, but instead my fingers hit control-return rather than escape.) I am sorry that, on the basis of one posting, I called you a troll, or implied that you had anything other than concern and interest in seeing the best possible outcomes. The only other thing I can say in my defense is that, if you look through the archives, you would hopefully see that I usually don't write that kind of message. /r$ -- Principal Security Engineer Akamai Technologies, Cambridge, MA IM: rs...@jabber.me; Twitter: RichSalz ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
