I guess it depends on how you define "solely for internal purposes". From "WHAT YOU CAN (AND CANNOT) DO WITH RSAREF": RSAREF, RSAREF applications, and services based on RSAREF applications may not be sold. How do you define services based on RSA? I would ask a lawyer, since a part of providing Internet services includes providing access to computers. If you use RSA to administer those computers is the service based on RSA? Maybe, maybe not. -BD
