| US sites mirror their crypto from freebsd.org, international ones from the | international repository. The preferred path is for code to be committed | by international people to the international repository, since it can be | imported from there back into the US - if we can avoid it we shouldn't | commit stuff to the US repository on its own since that prevents most of | our users (by geography) from accessing it. However at least in the case | of OpenSSL (which I'm planning to import into internat when I go home to | australia next week :-) the two will have to be divergent due to the | patent restrictions on RSA. The RSA patent makes things a lot more difficult. If we do add some crypto into the kernel I suggest we use patent-free algorithms to start with. -- Dan Moschuk (TFreak!dan@freebsd.org) "Cure for global warming: One giant heatsink and dual fans!"
