Re: Would it be legal for a foreign site to carry Netscape?

Lucky Green <shamrock@netcom.com> asked:

If someone would export the full 128 bit version of Netscape, would it be legal to make it available on a foreign site? After all, Netscape is a copyrighted product.

It would depend on what the license agreement said. But why not just write a wrapper which strips out the 88 bits of plaintext key? (A "leaf blower" if you like:) If you could get the author of slirp to include it in his distribution, it would definately get used. All you would have to say is "This is a patch to ensure that netscape encryption is properly secure when using slirp, and here are the diffs..."
