The consensus was that the inclusion of IDEA and RC5 encryption
"taints" the distribution enough that our users deserve a heads-up
about it. The openssl binaries that will be shipped with NetBSD-1.5
_do_ _not_ include IDEA and RC5, but you can easily build the
extensions, for your own build, by setting MKCRYPTO_IDEA and
MKCRYPTO_RC5 in /etc/mk.conf.

Shouldn't be a problem. AFAIK, "commercial use" is narrowly defined as
creating binaries which are to be sold, but if it's a concern to you,
don't take my word for it -- put your own corporate lawyers to work.
