As I said, I do know that the limitation son the keyserver were part of the bargain to get a legal non-infringing freeware version of PGP... Take that any way you want.
Let's see if I understand this correctly. There is some deal, between parties as yet unnamed, but presumably including PKP/RSADSI as one of the parties. This deal licences RSAREF for use in a new version of PGP, and requires one particular keyserver to be crippled in such a way that it ceases to accept keys that appear to have been created by certain versions of PGP. Right? I wonder what advantage PKP/RSADSI sees in crippling this one keyserver, since everybody can simply continue to use non crippled keyservers. --apb (Alan Barrett)
