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.
