zhaozg/lua-openssl — Issue #5: project has no copyright statement, and is an unattributed derivation of php's openssl support

There is no copyright statement on lua-openssl, so under most legal jurisdictions, it is copyright the author, all rights reserved, and cannot be legally used without some kind of agreement with the author. This probably isn't what you intended by putting the source on github.

Also, this project looks like it was started from a copy of PHP's openssl support. That's OK, except this isn't acknowledged anywhere that I can see, and the original authors copyright statements have been stripped from the code. The PHP copyright explicitly prohibits that:
