Hi,  
I’m looking to enable SSL on my SDL\_net connections. My project is  
personal, non-commercial for now, but I may have other more lucrative  
projects for this, so best would be a LGPL license or something that  
allows commercial software to be sold while source be kept private.

I’m looking for simplicity (if that is ever possible with ssl) and  
compatibility (for linux, windows and macosx).

Thanks,  
Simon

OpenSSL is probably worth looking at. There’s a link at  
[http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html](http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html) to a Windows compatible  
version and I believe it’s also available for OS X (it’s included with  
OS X Server). Apache license.

Read the FAQ at [http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html](http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html) which has  
questions regarding all sorts of OSs as well as explaining what you  
shouldn’t include in the build if you’re doing a commercial project due  
to patents.On Mon, 2007-05-07 at 14:09 -0500, Simon wrote:
