In addition to the above, CyaSSL includes a FLOSS Exception which allows “Free/Libre and Open Source Software” (FLOSS) applications to be able to use specified GPL-licensed yaSSL libraries despite the fact that not all FLOSS licenses are compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public License (the "GPL").
