As I said, this is simply NOT A PROBLEM for us, and those groups that think it is a problem are free to create their own mechanism using a different authentication method. > 1) SSLref SSL implementation (Netscape) > uses RSAREF, you don't need PKP license for it.

It's not RSAREF, therefore we can't distribute it in the US without a license.

It's not RSAREF, therefore we can't distribute it in the US without a license. (Unless distributors want to get sued; I don't.) I don't seem to be getting through here. We have an elaborate mechanism for dealing with this sort of problem in the ports collection. The base source tree is too big as it is. You're proposing to bloat it even further to include something which belongs in ports if anywhere at all. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
