As I have said before, European & other foreign users, who get the strong- crypto version should pay Netscape what they owe Netscape, to keep the ITAR as the issue, and not piracy. These are two separate issues, and if necessary the foreign users can mail anonymous cash [the paper kind] to assuage their consciences. Not all will do this, of course, but that's another example of ITAR losing US companies $ again. Lucky is, as usual right. There is a double standard for PGPdistribution vs other strong crypto distribution, and Tim is also right that this GAK-loving info-disclosure requirement sets a *really* lousy precedent for later software distributions. Pelease deal with issues separately.
This is hilarious. About two or three years ago, when I first began discussing crypto, I made a similar suggestion with respect to RSA. I was excoriated, pilloried, and in general called a very educational selection of bad names. David
