As far as I understand, one cannot sell and use unlicensed cryptography tools only in case it is a _government_ organisation, or one does work with them (for example, writing software for government orgs). In case of a commercial usage there are no restricitions, since it's a private issue of each company. Perhaps, your lawer can provide some "test" juridical cases on that matter? -- Regards, Wartan.
