The DNSsafe software cannot be used or distributed separately from the BIND software. You only have the right to use it or distribute it as a bundled, integrated product. The DNSsafe software can ONLY be used to provide authentication for resource records in the Domain Name System, as specified in RFC 2065 and successors. You cannot modify the BIND software to use the DNSsafe software for other purposes, or to make its cryptographic functions available to end-users for other uses. If you modify the DNSsafe software itself, you cannot modify its documented API, and you must grant RSA Data Security the right to use, modify, and distribute your modifications, including the right to use any patents or other intellectual property that your modifications depend upon. You must not remove, alter, or destroy any of RSA's copyright notices or license information. When distributing the software to the Federal Government, it must be licensed to them as "commercial computer software" protected under 48 CFR 12.212 of the FAR, or 48 CFR 227.7202.1 of the DFARS. You must not violate United States export control laws by distributing the DNSsafe software or information about it, when such distribution is prohibited by law. THE DNSSAFE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. RSA HAS NO OBLIGATION TO SUPPORT, CORRECT, UPDATE OR MAINTAIN THE RSA SOFTWARE. RSA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. If you desire to use DNSsafe in ways that these terms do not permit, please contact RSA Data Security, Inc., 100 Marine Parkway, Redwood City, California 94065, USA, to discuss alternate licensing arrangements. ------ FYI: the use of RSA-based public key cryptography is the recommended authentication algorithm for DNSSEC. Until the RSA patent expires, the only way we can distribute BIND with RSA in the US is with DNSsafe. Regards, -drc
