What I've seen is :
"In the U.S., a license is needed to "make, use or sell" RSA. However, RSA
Data Security usually allows free non-commercial use of RSA, with written
permission, for academic or university research purposes."
found at :
http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/faq/6-3-1.html
What I noted about this was that they did not mention Canada. Generally
Canada has been treated on a level field with the US for Cryptography
laws. I found it interesting that they failed to mention Canada at all.
Usually such a statement (such as the one at Netscape) would read "In the
US and Canada ..."
I was told that the RSA patents were not applicable to Canada and have not
been able to identify any patents thorugh the Internet search mechanism.
