I think that RSA should also realize that without PGP, their market would be much smaller, I think every time RSA licenses thier (now renewed) patents, they should think of Phil. I don't mean to saint the guy here or anything, but they owe him a debt that is difficult to quantify. By suing PGP they are basically saying , if I can extrapolate in a rather extreme manner, "privacy is okay, but only if we make money at it."
I would extrapolate a little different: "thanks Phil for putting us on the map, now bend over and grab your ankles" - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------- William H.
