There's nothing preventing another CA from getting permission from the USG to issue these magic certs. We would have to distribute a patch, but I don't see any problem with that.
uh, why does one need permission of the usg to issue "magic certs"?
Because issuing these certs is defined as a "defense service".
Precisely why there needs to be some hacks, from offshore CP, to enable anyone to issue "magic certs". Any volunteers?
The main result of such a hack would probably be to get our export license yanked. Of course, you might see that as desirable, for either its direct or indirect effects. -- What is appropriate for the master is not appropriate| Tom Weinstein for the novice.
