It is patent on RSA, which expires in 2000 as I remember. It can be licensed, but it is not cheap. I don't know how they would handle a free program which people pay to use.
Do they allow non-profit usage? If so, you could send out a new version that supported ecash payments, with an agreement not to use it for profit. I'd call building up a reserve against legal fees a justifiable action for a non-profit organization (if the interest went back into the same account or toward operating the remailer), but IANAL. Could someone who is comment, preferably after looking over the RSA license? -Allen
