Hello. At the weekend I had no the opportunity to respond, so I did not take part in the discussion. Thanks for answers. And a special thanks for the link to the pdf, it is very useful. Subject of licenses is secondary. I think it is better to move on to more technical aspects of the problems, if they appear :) -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
