"The distribution submitted for this validation was originally based on 0.9.7b,
but in the three years this effort has taken that distribution has changed
considerably.  It is not currently available in one place for public review
because we're still waiting on the CMVP review which is a closed process (the
CMVP does not seek unsolicited input) and because it is of no value until the
validation is granted.  

Once the validation is granted (or abandoned if it comes to that) the OSSI and
OpenSSL team will release all source code and documentation, and we'll have a
lot more to say about our experiences with the validation process.

The current plan is to bundle the validated FIPS 140-2 source code module with
the latest 0.9.7 release."
