Yes, if being legal is important/necessary for you, I'd recommend buying a copy
of Redhat Secure Server from http://www.cheapbytes.com/ for around $145 ( I
think the only current distro that includes the crypto license is the
Professional Release, but if you can find an older copy of the Redhat Secure
Server at a local shop or somewhere else on the web, it was priced around $79
to $99 and included the license as well).
