+=== Remarks ===
+
+In a reply to this mail Alan Olsen remakrked on the ML:
+
+ MIT was forced to use the RSAREF library which had a non free
+ license. At first they used the RSAREF2 library, but then they were
+ told to use the RSAREF1 library. (I diffed the two libraries and
+ determined that the only difference was that RSAREF2 had fixed a
+ number of buffer overflows and other security flaws. There were no
+ added features.)
+
+ If I remember correctly, 2.5 had RSAREF2 and 2.6 had RSAREF1. One
+ of the main reasons for the creation of the "International version"
+ was the use of RSAREF. (Besides the security issues, it was pretty
+ damn slow. In the days of the i386 people cared about speed.)
