Yes, that was the intent. Jason wrote stuff to work with openbsd and I took
it and made it something rather different. The core FIPS test code is his,
basically unchanged. You'll note the source code has the openbsd copyright
notice on it and my name is nowhere to be found. But in general I avoid
tagging any code with my name; I don't believe in doing that.
FWIW this code has yet to be committed to openbsd. I got permission from
him to commit it to freebsd since it's been sitting in my private repo for
many months and was concerned it might get lost.
