libjsafe.so contains the RSA DSI native code (the BSAFE library) and the
stubs for invoking the native cryptographic code. We compile and test
on Solaris/SPARC, Solaris/x86 and Windows. It probably wouldn't be
a huge amount of extra work to add HP to that mix, since BSAFE is already known
to run on HP-UX, but we need to make a business case for doing it. Probably our
hardest problem is testing, since we do not have many HP machines. This
would be a good topic for discussion with the licensing people.

I've forwarded your message to people who can talk with you about licensing;
ping us if you don't hear from them!
