No, apache-ssl does not fall in that category. In USA you will have to get a license from RSA for legally using it, and that license comes with with a price.

You get all of the source in compilable form except the RSA encryption and the raven module which is supplied in object form. Its almost 4x the cost of the Redhat server, but if you need to recompile its probably the cheapest solution. Jim jht@aloha.net
