Can anybody provide insight into the question of exactly when the RSA
patent expires beyond just September 20?
Does that mean that previously infringing software can be made
available *on* September 20 or on September 21? Is there a particular
time of day on September 20 when this takes effect? Is this
expiration Eastern Time for the Patent Office or Pacific Time for
RSADSI? In other words, could such things be posted at midnight
Eastern on September 20?
