Good monday morning all;

We are trying to implement SSL on our commercial Apache web server which
runs on FreeBSD. I have done some extensive reading(looking for ways I can
do this with open source stuff and careful about US crypto rules).

I can't run Apache with OpenSSL (mod_ssl) which is freely and legally
available EXCEPT IN THE US!

I can't use RSAref implementation for SSL purpose without paying licensing
fee it is a patented technology in the US and SSLeay uses RSA methods

I simply want to add the SSL feature to our servers; customers can pay for
certificates of authorities... seperately if they need them, I just need
standard 40 byte encryption for some of the stuff that runs on our web
servers, and if I have to pay I would rather donate the money to open
source where it will be used for the good of all!!

help please 

Dan
