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.
