Hi, OpenSSL is written in Australia. There are no porblems with distribution of it abroad. All OpenSSL specific code could be removed from wwwlib modules. (We can declare abstract class with API for ssl and implementation would be up to the user. User would implement his/her own module implementing that API OpenSSL or BSAFE (or whatever) specific.). I think that would make wwwlib-ssl exportable. There are no restrictions on SSL protocol itself. Olga Antropova.
