PolarSSLs biggest problem seems to be GPL.

And all the people who favor bsd style license instead.

Weve seen it before, a license which appeals to those who would benefit from it but not required to provide something back to the community - such projects fare worse in the long term than GPL or GNU projects.

I think this mentality also explains why people hate on openssl - they expect something for nothing.

Its 2014 we should know better than to trust corporations will do the right thing and require any modifications be released back to community. They wont and they dont.
