The NDS login code uses the RSA public key cryptosystem. Because of a patent
|
|
right on this algorithm (U.S. patent #4,405,829, issued 20 Sep 1983), you
|
|
are probably not allowed to use this code in the U.S.A. and Canada, and
|
|
possibly neither in other countries. Check this before you use NDS logins!

The mpilib.c, mpilib.h, platform.h, and usuals.h in the lib/ directory are
|
|
taken from the PGP 2.3 source distribution (Copyright 1986-92 by Philip
|
|
Zimmermann), which is distributed under the GPL, as stated below.
