Hello,
I would like to use mod_ssl enabled Apache to host a few small
e-commerce web sites in the US. Unfortunately, the instructions for
building mod_ssl (INSTALL) indicate that it is mandatory for
US-citizens to link openssl and mod_ssl with RSAref-2.0.
I talked to someone in licensing at RSA, and they indicated that it
is illegal to use RSAref-2.0, commercially or not, in the US. They
said that I would need to license their "Crypto-C" library.
I am hoping that they simply misunderstood my intentions. I don't
plan to "sell" any software, nor do I plan to charge extra for the use
of the SSL enabled Apache that will on my web server. (My prices for
hosting SSL enabled domains are the same as for non-SSL domains.)
Given this situation, is it necessary to purchase a license in order
to legally operate a mod_ssl enabled Apache in the US?
