This should be obvious, but probably bears repetition anyway:
FREEMAN BEWARE: By switching to PGP 2.5 you would commence to affirm with each message you send that you are a subject of the U.S. State.
I have been asked in email what would happen if a person outside the U.S. were to use it.
If a person were initially not a subject (``outside'') of the U.S., he would destroy that status in the process of acquiring PGP 2.5. This follows from the MIT announcement:
So, you are saying that I will be automatically subject to US law if I use this product? Hmmm, wonder what that does in terms of citizenship issues - as far as _I_ am concerned, the only law that has jurisdiction for me is NZ law, and US law can go get hanged, no? On a different note, where are the PKP patents registered, and how? Are they under the Int. Patent Coop. Treaty? If so, they might have some validity here... - Smrf. -- 'I'm out walking the drummer, man!' | robinson_m@ix.wcc.govt.nz # Floyd Pepper | mjrobins@nyx10.cs.du.edu
