First off, congratulations and thanks to Stale and everyone else for scanning in the source to PGP5.0i (http://www.ifi.uio.no/pgp/)
However, theres an ugly problem with the license. (http://www.ifi.uio.no/pgp/pgp50i-license.txt)
In Section 1.c.(d), permission is given to port PGP to other platforms. However, permission to distribute those ports is explicitly denied.
Could the license be modified to allow people who port the software to redisctribute ports? There is enough FUD about using PGP without PGP, Inc contributing to that by overly tight licensing.

Or what do you do about bugs? It mentions corrections, but not who to send them to. On DEC Alpha/axp under Linux, include/pgpUsuals.h has a test for a big ULONG_MAX that defines HAVE64 as 1 on 64 bit machines like the alpha But the very next test has #ifndef HAVE64 where there is a typedef for word64, which won't happen. But if HAVE64 is 1, in pgpMD5.c it will really want word64 defined or it will bomb. Something is wrong, but if I copy the typedef, it seems to get further (compiling as we speak - the old UDBs aren't the fastest alphas). Now, where should I send this information or the patch? --- reply to tzeruch - at - ceddec - dot - com ---
