summary: AWS-LC is a general-purpose cryptographic library maintained by
the AWS Cryptography team for AWS and their customers. It іs
based on code from the Google BoringSSL project and the OpenSSL

Hello,
I would like to know why we would want this library in Fedora.

In general the Fedora Cyrpto team would like to avoid crypto library proliferation as much as possible, unless there is no other option and the dependent packages are a must have, and they cannot use one of the existing crypto libraries for some reason..

Also please review https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/CryptoPolicies/ and explain how this library will comply with crypto policies.
