RR's, PGP and licenses

Geert Jan,

My definition of commercial may be different than yours.  Neither the
RIPE NCC nor Merit is profiting from the inclusion of PGP in the
registry software. We are not selling the software and the organizations
which are using the software are just recovering their operating costs -
not making profits that are then paid out to stockholders or somebody.

But no, we have not investigated this further - it seems like a non-
problem.
