+The following was recevied Fenbruary 23,2000
+From: "Linn, John" <jlinn@rsasecurity.com>
+
+February 19, 2000
+
+ The purpose of this memo is to clarify the status of intellectual
+property rights asserted by RSA Security Inc. ("RSA") in the MD2, MD4 and
+MD5 message-digest algorithms, which are documented in RFC-1319, RFC-1320,
+and RFC-1321 respectively.
+
+ Implementations of these message-digest algorithms, including
+implementations derived from the reference C code in RFC-1319, RFC-1320, and
+RFC-1321, may be made, used, and sold without license from RSA for any
+purpose.
+
+ No rights other than the ones explicitly set forth above are
+granted. Further, although RSA grants rights to implement certain
+algorithms as defined by identified RFCs, including implementations derived
+from the reference C code in those RFCs, no right to use, copy, sell, or
+distribute any other implementations of the MD2, MD4, or MD5 message-digest
+algorithms created, implemented, or distributed by RSA is hereby granted by
+implication, estoppel, or otherwise. Parties interested in licensing
+security components and toolkits written by RSA should contact the company
+to discuss receiving a license. All other questions should be directed to
+Margaret K. Seif, General Counsel, RSA Security Inc., 36 Crosby Drive,
+Bedford, Massachusetts 01730.
+
+ Implementations of the MD2, MD4, or MD5 algorithms may be subject to
+United States laws and regulations controlling the export of technical data,
+computer software, laboratory prototypes and other commodities (including
+the Arms Export Control Act, as amended, and the Export Administration Act
+of 1970). The transfer of certain technical data and commodities may
+require a license from the cognizant agency of the United States Government.
+RSA neither represents that a license shall not be required for a particular
+implementation nor that, if required, one shall be issued.
+
+
+ DISCLAIMER: RSA MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTENDS NO WARRANTIES
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, VALIDITY OF
+INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, ISSUED OR PENDING, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR
+OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, IN CONNECTION WITH THE MD2, MD4,
+OR MD5 ALGORITHMS. NOTHING IN THIS GRANT OF RIGHTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS A
+REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY GIVEN BY RSA THAT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
+ALGORITHM WILL NOT INFRINGE THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD
+PARTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL RSA, ITS TRUSTEES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES,
+PARENTS AND AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF
+ANY KIND RESULTING FROM IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS ALGORITHM, INCLUDING ECONOMIC
+DAMAGE OR INJURY TO PROPERTY AND LOST PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER RSA
+SHALL BE ADVISED, SHALL HAVE OTHER REASON TO KNOW, OR IN FACT SHALL KNOW OF
+THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH INJURY OR DAMAGE.
