We appreciate material and works produced for the community. Documentation, patches, and sample programs help ensure the library is reliable and easy to use. To ensure the most benefit to the project and community, contributions to this wiki must be either:

  1. existing material copied from a public domain source
  2. original content created by you and released under the current OpenSSL license (and any future version of it that the OpenSSL project may adopt)
  3. existing content already released under the current or future OpenSSL license.

The current OpenSSL license is a combination of OpenSSL and Apache-style license. Both licenses must be complied with.

For OpenSSL 3.0 we are moving to purely an Apache 2.0 license; see our blog posts.

We do not accept patches through the Wiki.
