Of course if I were head of a corp, producing commercial software, redistribution wouldn't be an issue :) It does seem crazy to me. In theory even the Unix crypt() function (that's actually compiled in the main cvs .exe IIRC) is >40bit and therefore needs licensing, so you can't even get away with deleting all the kerberos and ssh stuff and crippling openssl down to 40bits... it's not enough. That's why for years the Linux encrypted filesystems & IPSEC stuff was maintained separately in Europe - I think they've given up trying to comply now, and it's been rolled into 2.5. > I don't mind offering some help to others who need it where I can... and > since I've been through this, I can at least offer some guidance, which I > am (hopefully) doing already. Thanks. I'll keep out of it now since I've said about as much as I can, and leave you to it. Tony
