Hi Bob, The PKCS #11 V2.30 header files you submitted contain the same license used in the v2.20 header files: /* License to copy and use this software is granted provided that it is * identified as "RSA Security Inc. PKCS #11 Cryptographic Token Interface * (Cryptoki)" in all material mentioning or referencing this software. * License is also granted to make and use derivative works provided that * such works are identified as "derived from the RSA Security Inc. PKCS #11 * Cryptographic Token Interface (Cryptoki)" in all material mentioning or * referencing the derived work. * RSA Security Inc. makes no representations concerning either the * merchantability of this software or the suitability of this software for * any particular purpose. It is provided "as is" without express or implied * warranty of any kind. */ This license is believed to be incompatible with the GPL. As a result, the NSS project is still using PKCS #11 header files derived from an old version licensed to Netscape, and some GNU projects produced their own clean-room version of the PKCS #11 header files. As the copyright owner of these header files, RSA is in the best position to re-license the header files. I'd like to request that RSA re-license the header files under the Revised BSD license. Thanks, Wan-Teh Chang
