Hi,

amid all the 0.6 vs 0.7 vs Shambala confusion, is anyone
considering SSL and all the other hardcore commercial stuff?

Ay.

Unfortunately, if I read that note right, then the SSL in question is
the Australian implementation, which doesn't use RSAREF, and is
therefore contraband in the States. As innovators in the field of
software, aren't we glad that the government provides a patent system
which allows us to protect our rights like this?

The new version of SSLeay _does_ support the use of RSAREF so you can
link it into a "legal" version in the States. Haven't tried this myself
but have been told that it works by Eric and Tim (the guys behind SSLeay).
