Or not, .. RSA *STILL* has the BSafe toolkit in the public domain, .. and it's license
specifies that you can use it for any 'internal' use. *OUR* legal beagles tell me that
'internal use' includes anything for which we do not charge a fee, .. including using
OpenSSL to secure our own servers. To *SELL* anything including or using the RSA
toolkit, we would have to pay RSA a license.
Some of the folks here happily mix the two, taking the 'trod upon' viewpoint, .. but I
would recommend checking with your own lawyers to make a decision.
