> Who wants to work on software that has been deemed "end of life"?

People who are pragmatic about their work and don't let their ego tell them that they should only be working on bleeding-edge software that "matters."

If people are using it, it matters. More people are using and depending on OpenSSL than 90% of the code any VC startup is cranking out today.




If I'm being pragmatic about my work, I'm going to demand to be paid.


I said nothing about not being paid.

Can they purchase food with a printed out list of all the companies that use OpenSSL?
