Re: Distributing OpenSSL and staying out of jail

[Rich Salz]

You should ask your lawyers to read the license that comes with OpenSSL. 
If they claim to need "official" answers, ask them why, and ask them how 
they would handle the analogous situation for something like Microsoft 
Office. :)

The only way to be in compliance with US export regulations is to follow 
the regulations.  Start at http://www.bxa.doc.gov/Encryption/Default.htm
I am not a lawyer, and I am not offering official advice.  With that 
caveat, I have found that exporting applications that use OpenSSL to 
implement the SSL/TLS standard is just a matter of filing out some forms.
