Just the queston I wanted to ask. As a matter of
fact, I know a friend who is the chief of a small
startup security / crypto company (outside the
US) who is using RSAref and RSAeuro in his
products. Is this legal or could this chap get
into trouble or be sued by RSADSI?

Can anybody shed light on the patent restrictions of the RSA public
key algorithm?
Does this mean that a commercial organization outside the US can use a
RSA implementation without legal hassles from RSADSI, or is there some
sort of licensing scheme for organizations outside the US? The BSAFE
toolkit from RSA is really expensive, and a nice alternative to that
is RSAeuro which is freely available as source code. Any suggestions?
