Re: PGP 2.5 Beta Release Over, PGP 2.6 to be released next week

In order to fully protect RSADSI's intellectual property rights in public-key technology, PGP 2.6 will be designed so that the messages it creates after September 1, 1994 will be unreadable by earlier versions of PGP that infringe patents licensed exclusively to Public Key Partners by MIT and Stanford University. PGP 2.6 will continue to be able to read messages generated by those earlier versions.

I suppose that it (also) will not allow upgrade inclusion of a secret key created with these previous versions? If not, I can't imagine many folks will be rushing to upgrade to 2.6. - paul
