-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- What will we have to do to get MIT-PGP 2.6 via anonymous ftp from net-dist.mit.edu? Like with MIT-PGP 2.5, telnet to net-dist.mit.edu, and answer questions. This time there are 4. The first three questions help MIT protect itself from possible legal problems related to their distributing PGP - they cover their rear ends with regard to ITAR regs (questions 1 and 2) and patent infringement (question 3). First, we must assure net-dist that we're not trying to export MIT-PGP 2.6. Second, we must promise not to export MIT-PGP 2.6. Third, we must agree to the terms and conditions in the RSAREF license. Finally, we must agree that we won't use MIT-PGP 2.6 for commercial purposes. A "yes" answer to that last question is the only thing specifically required by the RSAREF license. Note well that we aren't required to obey strictures in some kind of "README" file. Remember this for when someone tries to muddy the waters with baseless obfuscatory claims about what we agreed to in some auxiliary file, and how that auxiliary file somehow overrules the license terms. :-) I find the RSAREF license quite reasonable, as I did their previous version. I have not yet seen the MIT license. I don't know about the source, because I haven't grabbed it yet.
