The RSA position up to this point is that vendors of toolkits not only need to get a license, but also notify their customers that they must acquire one. So Apache gets one to distribute this code, and then provides the notice to users. The *rumor* is that they may be changing their mind about this special toolkit case, but that's not anything more than rumor. The fundamental issue is that there is *no* license to get yet. It doesn't exist, the process doesn't exist, etc. We've been distributing code, Sun has shipping products, RSA and Phaos and others have toolkits, etc. So there just isn't much ground to stand on yet. > maybe someone at the ASF needs to approach RSA officially and > find out what their position is. Many others are already doing this within the SSTC, and we will communicate that we're getting even more anxious on the call next week. -- Scott --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
