I expressed my displeasure over PKP/RSA's apparent support for Clipper/ Capstone/Key Escrow to RSA's head, Jim Bidzos. Here's his reply. Quoth Jim Bidzos, verily I saith unto thee:

RSA/PKP supporting Clipper? Where did you hear that? (It's untrue.) For a year and a half, we have been claiming that DSS is covered by patents we hold. NIST has finally stopped fighting, and asked for licensing terms. We provided them. Hardly "support for Clipper."
