: It kind of sickens us that we had to do it, but so be it. : : Patches that re-implement the PEM code may be available at a foreign : site soon. If it does show up, we'll point to it - that can't be : illegal! I see no reason why they should not be as ``illegal'' as the crypto-with-a-hole sillyness. Pointing to software is a pretty effective way of disclosing it, and disclosing cryptographic software--apparently including holes--to foreign persons without a license is a violation of the ITAR. Of course, the ITAR itself is illegal as it applies to cryptographic software, but I agree that one does not want to be the defendant in a criminal case based on those unconstitutional provisions. -- Peter D.
