> Adding SSL support to Apache/iX looks promising.

Mark--

That's encouraging.  Can you (or anyone else) explain to us exactly what the
licensing issues are surronding SSL technology?  My vague understanding is
that because of certain patents held by RSA, you can't get a truly free
implementation of SSL on a web server.  Is that true, and if so, how do we go
about determining what SSL will really cost us (assuming it does become
available in some form).

Thanks.
