No, this is the same Garrett who persuaded you not to include the RSA
code at all in the freefall repository so that I could continue to
maintain a mirror without getting into trouble with the Technology
Licensing Office. I can (at work) *use* RSA all I want, but can't
distribute it without approval from TLO, who must be persuaded that
the Institute would benefit. I think it took them something like six
months to come to agreement (with the then RSADSI) over the
distribution of free PGP.
This gets even more complicated when I start to involve my own private
activities -- such as participating in the FreeBSD Project as a
developer -- which is (part of) why I don't use software containing
RSA in the course of personal-time activities. (And hence why I can't
log in to freefall, at least until markm and I get Kerberos
inter-realm set up.)
