This is confusing, several people have alluded that there will be no future versions of SSLeay from Eric and friends. Would someone in the know care to divulge the goods: why is this?

Has Eric suffered an accident? Been incarcerated by the Australian spooks in retaliation for major contributions to crypto deployment? Has he been bought out by the dark side (say microsoft?). Had a major change of philosophy regarding open source? EAY was amongst the "least likely to go closed source" I thought.

I seem to to recall sometime ago when he was being pressured by the Oz Gubmint, and decided that going corporate was a decent way out. From what I recall, he ended up on the RSA payroll. Sayonara buggy freeware.
