This package is an SSL implementation written by Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com).
The implementation was written so as to conform with Netscapes SSL.

This library is free for commercial and non-commercial use as long as
the following conditions are aheared to.  The following conditions
apply to all code found in this distribution, be it the RC4, RSA,
lhash, DES, etc., code; not just the SSL code.  The SSL documentation
included with this distribution is covered by the same copyright terms
except that the holder is Tim Hudson (tjh@cryptsoft.com).

Please note that MD2, MD5 and IDEA are publically available standards
that contain sample implementations, I have re-coded them in my own
way but there is nothing special about those implementations.  The DES
library is another mater :-).

Copyright remains Eric Young's, and as such any Copyright notices in
the code are not to be removed.
If this package is used in a product, Eric Young should be given attribution
as the author of the parts of the library used.
This can be in the form of a textual message at program startup or
in documentation (online or textual) provided with the package.

   The word 'cryptographic' can be left out if the rouines from the library
   being used are not cryptographic related :-).

The licence and distribution terms for any publically available version or
derivative of this code cannot be changed.  i.e. this code cannot simply be
copied and put under another distribution licence
[including the GNU Public Licence.]

The reason behind this being stated in this direct manner is past
experience in code simply being copied and the attribution removed
from it and then being distributed as part of other packages. This
implementation was a non-trivial and unpaid effort.
