关于OpenSSL 基金会“最近几年的盈利都在百万美元左右”,我google搜索了一下, 几乎都来源于OpenBSD网站的一条消息,

Is this part accurate? (from page 8) : "The OpenSSL foundation appears to be a million dollar a year for-profit company doing FIPS consulting gigs. (Incorporated in Maryland)"

More or less. See

That's kind of one of the problems with OpenSSL: The paid work they do may help most of the OpenSSL developers pay their bills, but spending their time writing weird one-off features for enterprise clients is the opposite of conducive to doing important work to maintain the quality of the library.

不知OpenSSL 基金会有没有向公众披露财务审计报告,
但“OpenSSL 基金会最近几年的盈利都在百万美元左右”,这条论据好像没有可信的来源。
