I think that the general opinion of engineers and management here at Netscape is that it would be A Really Good Thing to have our US-only 128+ bit version of Netscape Navigator available for download by US citizens and others who are not legally prohibited from using it.
Who _is_ legally prohibited from using it? I think there are some countries where the very use of crypto is illegal (could someone please list them?), but who else? There are some people that may be legally prohibited from _obtaining_ it from a US site (ITAR yadda), but even so, if JRFurriner downloads crypto from company C's site in the US, who's guilty of ITAR-violation? Company C for making it available, or JRF for initiating the action that caused the bits to be send out of the country? - Ian "my, I seem to be posting a lot tonight"
