I can (at work) *use* RSA all I want, but can't distribute it without approval from TLO, who must be persuaded that the Institute would benefit. I think it took them something like six months to come to agreement (with the then RSADSI) over the distribution of free PGP. This gets even more complicated when I start to involve my own private activities -- such as participating in the FreeBSD Project as a developer -- which is (part of) why I don't use software containing RSA in the course of personal-time activities. (And hence why I can't log in to freefall, at least until markm and I get Kerberos inter-realm set up.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
