BearSSL is an alternate, small, MIT licensed TLS library. (It actually only implements TLS, not SSL.)

https://bearssl.org/

This beta quality, but it should be sufficient for our needs. (It may not be as efficient as mbedTLS, but I like to have the ability to include a vendored projected automatically.)

BearSSL development appears to have stalled. I'm no longer confident that adding it is advisable.

I'm closing this as wontfix. The issue here is that BearSSL has stalled out, and there seems to be no clear path to TLS v1.3 which has been fully standardized for a while now. I don't want to burn cycles supporting software that only supports legacy protocols.

(Btw, if BearSSL is resurrected, then I might take it up again.)

picoTLS looks interesting as an alternative as well, but I think it requires another cryptographic library.
