I am attempting to build OpenSSL for the Analog Devices Blackfin 537 digital signal processing chip using the VisualDSP++ compiler, also from Analog Devices. I have been studying the Configure script, and I would be appreciative of any advice you could give. I especially would like help determin

Thank you for the clarification. What you have said makes sense, but I am still a little unclear on what is meant by "redistribution" and "products derived from [OpenSSL]". Presumably, a program, e.g. a web browser, could be written which uses OpenSSL (whether through linking to the libraries or
