("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.
