The SSLeay mailing list archives contain some historical detail on this commercial license. Apparently Consensus Development (www.consensus.com) managed the commercial licensing of RSAREF, starting in late 1994 or 1995, and the terms were reasonable and per-copy. But by mid 1997 Consensus stopped selling commercial RSAREF licenses, and by December 1997 Consensus had added to their press releases a mention that their SSL Plus toolkit used RSADSI's BSAFE. Consensus was bought by Certicom about a year ago. So it looks like RSADSI closed that loophole about 2 years ago. :( ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
