As far as I know, and that's only what I've read on the web, is when you
purchased your Re Hat software it should have come with the license to use
the encryption. This is because Red Hat bought a license to be able to
resell you the software, in turn giving you a legal right to use encryption
technology. This what I have read else where, it may have even been on the
OpenSSL site somewhere, but don't quote me on that.

Subject: A little legal help, please...
I have just spent a day adding in support for SSL via mod-ssl to my
apache server. I am new to all this stuff and have just been told -
"make it secure" - and it seemed to me this is the logical way to go.
We purchased a Red Hat Linux Pro software, including the "Secure Web
Server", and when I initially installed it a few months ago I had
problems with it and jserv. Security was not an issue at that time, so
I picked up fresh 3.1.9 apache source, and fresh jserv source which
worked pretty much without a hitch.
Now I apply the same approach to doing a DSO for SSL, and get it going
and then discover that there are legal issues. Browsing through some of
your archives, it seems that it might be reasonable to use the license
for the outofthebox red hat SWS for the mod-ssl. Have I gotten the
wrong message, or will I have to go back to the outofthebox stuff.
Many thanks in advance, and hope that I can become a "real" subscriber
soon, if not after Sept 20th.
