You mentioned BSAFE and presumably meant RSAREF -- that was a
factual error.  Advising people about the terms of a legal
agreement without reference to specifics is what I meant
by an error of reasoning.

My conversations with RSAS legal counsel have been somewhat less
than satisfying -- they claim that the license has been withdrawn.
I asked if any notice had been given, and they hemmed and hawed.
It has been silently withdrawn and is not longer made available
under the terms mentioned -- they now claim that any use is
unauthorized.  

The provision which requires supplying the source code to any
application which incorporates RSAREF is fairly onerous,  but I
note that RSA has never lived up to the promise to make such
source code available on their site.
