 Ah, but is Red Hat the Linux way?

No, it means exactly the opposite.

 Hello,
 
 I am curious what is going to happen when the patent for RSA 
 expires next year.
 Does anyone know?  Will that mean packages such as OpenSSL 
 will be usable
 without penalty, for commercial purposes within the US?

Thanks,

I think I mis-read your original question. For some reason I read
"unusable", sorry. Yes, the lapse of a patent means the technology
becomes available for all to use, freely. This is my understanding.

 Uhmmm?  Are you trying to pull a leg or two?  Or have I missed
 something about how things work when a patent is no longer valid?

 rmeyer No, it means exactly the opposite.

RE: 0.9.3 Beta 2!!!

1999-05-24 Thread Roeland M.J. Meyer

I'm still having trouble with the Big Number library build, but I am
doing on a Caldera v1.2 system that has known roaches. Sometime this
week I expect to get in the latest Caldera v2.2 (Not 4 Resale), using
the newest kernel, I will see then. BTW, it builds fine on a Caldera
v1.1 system.

 Subject: 0.9.3 Beta 2!!!


 The beta 2 release of OpenSSL 0.9.3 is now available from the OpenSSL
 FTP site. If no major problems are found with this, the final release
 will be made tomorrow (Monday 24th May) some time in the evening
 (European time, likely to be around 20:00 GMT onwards).

 Please test this version thoroughly and perhaps we'll avoid a
 0.9.3a for
 a change!

 Ben.
