You guys probably have this figured out already but ... As Emile stated
it's the RSA that's a problem for US users. If you compile from source you
can't use the RSA algorythym with your SSL enabled apache.
A solution that's mentioned in the mod_ssl pages, I think that's where
I've read this, is to purchase a cheap commercial binary that includes a
license for RSA. Then compile your own SSL enabled apache using the RSA
with the intent to claim that you're applying the license you purchased to
the RSA that you've compiled. Apparently this is being done in the US
whether it would stand up in a court of law is pretty doubtful.
Red Hat costs around $100 and ships with the source because of the GPL or
whatever license originally covers apache. Is doesn't ship with source so
that you can compile yourself. It's intended for you to use the rpm
binary.
You can purchase an RSA license for $1,000 or $2,000 but the kicker is
that they're only sold in packets of about 20. My numbers are all wrong
but my point is clear.
Well, that's my rough understanding of what's happening. I'll be very
interested to know what you discover about this.
