Interesting that you say Canada. My investigation seemed to indicate that
openssl is fine in Canada. None of the RSA patents were granted in Canada
because (I believe) they were considered too general.
As well, I did fond some inforamation on the RSA site that would indicate
that the use of the RSA algorithims were generally acceptable if they were
not being made for commercial distribution, hence running a web server
would seem to be fine.
