Hi,

  I just joined this mailing list, I hope I can get answer
  for the following questions:

  1. I retrieved a copy of MIT Kerberos V5 beta 3 from the 
     athena-dist FTP machine recently.  From the readme file,
     I understand this require the export license from U.S.
     government to export it.  Other than that, can we integrate
     it as part of our commercial product?  Do we need to pay 
     licence fee to any party involved to use it in our commercial
     product?

  2. Other general question on encryption modules:
     Regarding the DES encryption module, do we need to pay 
     any party to use it in our commercial product?  How about
     MD2 and MD5 message digest modules, do we need to pay 
     license fee/royalty to use it in our commercial product?

     Thanks,
