I'll hazard the guess that you're a native American English speaker, as am I. The original SSLeay licence was written by Commonwealth English speakers, and they do tend to spell things a bit differently. In Americanese "license" is both a noun and a verb, whereas in the Queen's English "licence" is the noun and "license" is the verb. Some of my British colleagues have explained that it often doesn't matter if Americanized spelling is used, but in this case I think we should respect the original presentation. I find is useful to set my spellchecker to British English, as intuition can be misleading. -Steve M. -- Steve Marquess OpenSSL Software Foundation, Inc. 1829 Mount Ephraim Road Adamstown, MD 21710 USA +1 877 673 6775 s/b +1 301 874 2571 direct marqu...@opensslfoundation.com marqu...@openssl.com ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
