From what I have read of the license it is against the license agreement to ship the libraries on a CD of shareware products for which a price is charged.
If I were to create a program using the libraries and upload them to Simtel or one of the other big archives, it could not be distributed on a Simtel CD-ROM that someone was charging money for. (Ignoring the usual export issues.)
I see this as a big problem.
This, unfortunately, is a non-issue. I just reread the license agreement and noticed the following: Non-Commercial Distribution License. Subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, PGP hereby grants to you or your organization a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license (a) to incorporate [... stuff deleted ...] and (b) to reproduce and distribute the Bundled Freeware Application to end users solely by electronic means (for example, posting on networks or Internet sites for others to download), So, the only way to really (legally) distribute this would be on your own web site, or a web site that will never be picked up on a cdrom distribution. The as of yet unreleased shareware licensing agreements will probably cover cdrom distribution. -- Phelix (ps. always read anything written by lawyers twice)
