Shawn Howard Rhoads US Citizen I agree. I agree. I agree. This file is located at <http://www.netrek.org/RSA.agreement.txt> ** Netrek RES-RSA This information and agreement is relevant only to U.S. Netrek client developers/builders and Netrek server developers/administrators. Many Netrek servers are RSA-enabled and require special RSA-enabled "blessed" client binaries for gameplay. This requirement prevents players from downloading a client's source code and adding special "borgish" features (such as auto- phasers, cloakers on tactical, etc.) to gain unfair advantages over others. Both clients and servers use the RSA algorithm from RSA Laboratories to employ public key cryptography for client validation. You will need access to the Netrek RES-RSA source code only if you plan to run an RSA-enabled server or build an RSA-enabled client. If you are building a client, please be sure to check with the client maintainer(s) to see if a blessed client for your platform is already available. Because of U.S. export restrictions on encryption technology, you must truthfully answer the following questions before a copy of the Netrek RES-RSA library can be released to you. - State your full, legal name. - Are you a citizen or national of the United States or a person who has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States under the Immigration and Naturalization Act? - Do you agree not to export RSA and all related support code to the extent incorporated therein, in violation of the export control laws of the United States of America as implemented by the United States Department of State Office of Defense Trade Controls? - Do you agree to the terms and conditions of the RSAREF license? <http://www.netrek.org/RSA.txt> - Do you agree to use Netrek RES-RSA and RSAREF solely for non-commercial purposes? Send a copy of this file with your answers to rsakey at us.netrek.org. If you are a PGP user, sign the message and include your public key. The decrypt key for the U.S. RES-RSA package will be sent to you afterwards. The encrypted U.S. RES-RSA package is located at <ftp://ftp.netrek.org/pub/netrek/rsa/>. If you are trying to build an RSA-enabled client, please check with the client maintainers for additional information. RSA-enabled clients not sanctioned by the maintainers are usually rejected by the RSA client keys maintainer and RSA-enabled servers. -da 3/25/99 _______________________________________________ vanilla-metaserver mailing list vanilla-metaserver at lists.real-time.com https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/vanilla-metaserver
