Why is it unbelievable? Unless you are a very big company, the only way you
can get an RSA license is to get a license to use their implementation of
the
patent. Once you get BSAFE, you can modify it as you wish; even to the point
of
replacing their implementation with another one (such as OpenSSL).
Tell RSA that you want to license BSAFE for incorporation into a product and
then
negotiate the licensing fee. You can tell them it's for use in a Web server
if
you want to.
