+This version of
+.Nm
+is a derivative of the original 1.2.12 release, but with bugs removed and
+newer features re-added.   Rapidly after the 1.2.12 release, newer versions
+bore successively more restrictive licenses.  In this version, all components
+of a restrictive nature (ie. patents) have been directly removed from the
+source code; any licensed or patented components are chosen from external
+libraries.  The libraries described in
+.Xr ssl 8
+are required for proper operation.
