The only contributions to that file in OpenSSL that isn't from Andy are a whitespace fix and the addition of the licence :-) If that makes you feel better we could undo the whitespace fix :-) I've checked the other PowerPC related files in there and the situation is identical (aes-ppc.pl does have also a spelling fix in comments). At this point, it's pretty clear that this code is authored solely by Andy who gave permission to use it. Cheers, Ben.
