Yikes!

I'm making a commercial product here.  If IE & Netscape only support RSA, do
I have to buy RSA licenses from RSA?  Now that their patent is up, is there
an open-source solution?  I don't even build OpenSSL with RSA in it because
of the licensing issue. This is very bad news for me and my company.

Any suggestions?

Neither MSIE nor Netscape web browsers support ADH or indeed any kind of
DH at all. They only support RSA cipher suites.
