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.

What gives?

(I kept the cc list because clearly there has been some discussion on
ssl-users, sw-mod-ssl, or apache-ssl, none of which I am subscribed
to).
