Just a pondering here, but in the -spirit- of the law (and probably not the 
letter), and given the fact that I'm not a lawyer, what if we (US developers) 
were to purchase a commercial solution, shelve it, then use that license in our 
own (individual) mod_ssl package?  We still have only one RSA implimentation 
running, and we have a single RSA license.  That way, RSA has their licensing 
fees.

Logically, that make sense to me, but US law only makes sense on rare 
occasions.
