Again, that depends on from whom (or should I say through whom) you've
licensed the algorithm. A few companies do have a broad license
to redistribute their own, or another company's, code. Not a very
well-known fact, is it?

I believe that the "non-discriminatory" nature of their licensing
practices is still a matter of debate... even among corporations
with lots of money and a (limited) license. How many CAs have
been licensed? Hmmm. Given the potential demand, you'd think the
number would be much larger. Discrimination? You be the judge. <g>
