+OpenSSL
+-------
+
+The modules :mod:`hashlib`, :mod:`posix`, :mod:`ssl`, :mod:`crypt` use
+the OpenSSL library for added performance if made available by the
+operating system. Additionally, the Windows installers for Python
+include a copy of the OpenSSL libraries, we include a copy of the
+OpenSSL license::

+  LICENSE ISSUES
+  ==============
+
+  The OpenSSL toolkit stays under a dual license, i.e. both the conditions of
+  the OpenSSL License and the original SSLeay license apply to the toolkit.
+  See below for the actual license texts. Actually both licenses are BSD-style
+  Open Source licenses. In case of any license issues related to OpenSSL
+  please contact openssl-core@openssl.org.
