If you are buying off-the-shelf hardware, then the vendor probably has the necessary licenses. If you are building your own hardware, purely for your exploration and discovery, then it is probably okay. But not, for example, if you are using your hardware in a commercial venture. I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice. You will not get any legal advice on this mailing list. /r$ -- Principal Security Engineer Akamai Technology Cambridge, MA ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
