With today's announcement by RSA Security, Inc. that beginning today
(6 Sept. 2000) they will no longer enforce the RSA patent (which expires
later this month on the 20th anyway), how will this change FreeBSD's
plans to completely remove the requirement for RSAREF use in the US?
Will it simplify things much?  Will international (non-US) and domestic
(US) crypto sources merge together better?

Aaron out.
