Not quite. If you tweet and brag about SSL or crypto support, then you must credit OpenSSL. If you brag about something that is not a feature derived from/dependent on OpenSSL, then the clause is irrelevant.


So corrected.

If my project is "SecureTalk" with the tag line "the NSA will never know", and it's secure because of OpenSSL, then will I have to mention that text every time I use the word "SecureTalk" in a tweet/ advertisement?

What about "HushTalk"? "MumsTheWord"? "SafeBanking"?

If I add optional rot-13 encryption, so there are now two cryptosystems, then can I pretend that SecureTalk doesn't "really" require OpenSSL, so I don't need the advertising?
