What? Ring is not even close to a fork of BoringSSL; it merely borrows subroutines from BoringSSL.

Ok, maybe not a fork outright. But the project description says: Most of the C and assembly language code in ring comes from BoringSSL.

That's the proper way to use OpenSSL and derivatives. Their C and assembly code for crypto primatives is good.

Protocol code and x.509 certficate handling will probably be better written in another language.
