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.

For the RIPE NCC I think you are right. For MERIT I don't know, you
probably know better than we do. However, MERIT, Inc. does not
sound like a non-profit organisation ;-)  Besides that, I am not sure
whether service providers that make use of the software are
non-commercial companies... I am sure they are all doing this to make
money, right? Not that I really want to get into this discussion, but
it is something to think about.

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

It is better to investigate rather than find out afterwards that RSA
does think this is a commercial purpose....
