+# wolfSSL Open Source Project Ports with wolfProvider
+
+The goal of the wolfProvider project is to replace the crypto used by OpenSSL
+with wolfCrypt or wolfCrypt FIPS, with the least amount of changes possible.
+
+Each of the project directories contains a patch file for a specific version of the Open
+Source Project.
+
+To apply a patch file, change to the project's directory and run
+`patch -p1 < /path/to/PROJ-patch.txt`. Build the project normally.
+
+The projects supported are:
+
+| Directory | Project | Repository |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+|strongswan|[strongswan](https://strongswan.org/)|[repo link](https://github.com/strongswan/strongswan.git)|
+
+
+# Licensing
+
+wolfSSL and wolfCrypt are either licensed for use under the GPLv2 (or at your
+option any later version) or a standard commercial license. For users who
+cannot use wolfSSL under GPLv2 (or any later version), a commercial license to
+wolfSSL and wolfCrypt is available. For license inquiries, please contact
+wolfSSL Inc. directly at licensing@wolfssl.com.
+
+All non-wolfSSL projects in this repository are licensed under their
+respective project licenses.
