7/31 "When you're a U.S. citizen you have to build OpenSSL in conjunction
with the RSAref library." What is the reasoning behind this?
\_ Well, only if you're in the USA. RSA has a patent in the USA.
Fortunately, that patent is expiring on Sep. 20, 2000. --PeterM
\_ Patents are evil! Kill all patents! Free beer for the
people! We have the right to everything free!
\_ It's incorrect actually - it's if you are in the US or not -
non-citizens are not exempt from US law when on US soil. RSA
can still sue your scrawny ass for patent infringement if you
don't. (They're not likely to, but they can.)
\_ also, US Law applies to US Citizens no matter where they are
in the world. |
