   6 <h1>About the OpenSSL Project</h1>
   7
   8 <h2>The goal of the project</h2>
   9
  10 The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
  11 commercial-grade, full-featured, and <a
  12 href="http://www.opensource.org/">Open Source</a> toolkit implementing the
  13 <a href="http://www.netscape.com/eng/ssl3/">Secure Sockets
  14 Layer</a> (SSL v2/v3) and <a
  15 href="http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/tls-charter.html">Transport Layer Security</a> (TLS
  16 v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library
  17 managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to
  18 communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL toolkit and its related
  19 documentation.
  20
  21 <h2>Derivation and License</h2>
  22
  23 OpenSSL is based on the SSLeay library
  24 developed by Eric Young and
  25 <a href="mailto:tjh@cryptsoft.com">Tim Hudson</a>. The OpenSSL toolkit
  26 is licensed under an <a href="../source/license.html">Apache-style licence</a> which basically means that you are free
  27 to get and use it for commercial and non-commercial purposes.
  28
  29 <h2>The OpenSSL Core and Development Team</h2>
  30
  31 The OpenSSL project is volunteer-driven. We do not have any specific
  32 requirement for volunteers other than a strong willingness to really
  33 contribute while following the projects goal. The OpenSSL project is formed
  34 by a development team, which consists of the current active developers
  35 and other major contributors. Additionally a subset of the developers form the
  36 OpenSSL core team which globally manages the OpenSSL project. Anyone wanting
  37 to join the development effort should subscribe to the developers mailing list
  38 openssl-dev@openssl.org, where all development efforts are coordinated.
