Since I brought up the subject and what they provide (the Redhat Secure 
Server) is what I am building myself I will ask this question...

Looking at the rsaref readme file I see this:

1.        You can use RSAREF in personal, non-commercial applications,
          as long as you follow the interface described in the RSAREF
          documentation. You can't use RSAREF in any commercial
          (moneymaking) manner of any type, nor can you use it to
          provide services of any kind to any other party. For
          information on commercial licenses of RSAREF-compatible
          products, please contact RSA Data Security. (Special
          arrangements are available for educational institutions and
          non-profit organizations.)

Question 1)  Wouldn't this preclude my using it for secure transactions 
on my site to
             generate money (e.g. selling a product

Question 2)  Wouldn't this preclude my using it for hosting other 
'stores' on my site as I
             would generate income from it?

Heh...PGP I grabbed, that is easy enough ;)
