Assuming that whoevever implemented PGP did not himself import the cipher, but based the implementation on the EUROCRYPT '90 paper that was 'imported' by Springer-Verlag,
According to idea.c in the PGP sources: * Algorithm developed by Xuejia Lai and James L. Massey, of ETH Zurich. * This implementation modified and derived from original C code * developed by Xuejia Lai. Of course, idea.c and PGP as a whole have been substantially improved by an international community; importing their warez may be as much of an "offense" as importing IDEA. (Certainly the prosecution of these actions is equal in absurdity.)
