I was also new to SSL a few weeks ago. I'm no lawyer and it's been a few weeks since I read through the documentation, but... I think the only hurdle to commercial use of mod_ssl was the inclusion of rsaref, the RSA reference libraries used for some of OpenSSL's encryption routines. I set up a server using mod_ssl for my place of work, and I simply built the OpenSSL port without rsaref support (I made sure that USA_RESIDENT was set to NO before running 'make'). Both the OpenSSL and mod_ssl web pages (www.openssl.org and www.modssl.org) pages say that they're released under BSD-style license, so they're free for commercial and noncommercial use. I also built apache and mod_ssl by hand, by the way. I extracted apache and mod_ssl from the distribution source tarballs. It's not really hard if you follow the documentation. Someone correct me if I'm wrong... --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
