Hi,

I believe it=E2=80=99s actually both if you look at [1] you see that =
some of it is licensed under Apache 1.0 (or similar), but the original =
SSLeay code is under a 4 clause BSD.

Both Apache 1.0 and 4 clause BSD license contain the troublesome =
advising clause.

1.0?

This has been discussed before but no clear answer was given other than =
both are probably category X. See [2][3] and also [4]. I also noted this =
as as issue a little while back [5].

BTW There is one Apache project that looks like it contains code =
licensed under Apache 1.0. And yep you guessed it, it=E2=80=99s Apache =
Flex. [6] It contains code from an old version of the Apache Velocity =
project (2007 or so?).

Thanks,
Justin
