Go back an read Hal Abelson's message of just a few days ago. MIT may lose out on a large contract with Sandia becuase of their publishing of a _book_ containing PGP code.
This isn't quite analogous to the original problem of a software company making good-faith efforts to prevent a program from being exported. AFAIK, MIT did not try to prevent the book from being exported (of course, the State Department never did approve or deny their request to export the book). Sandia could claim that MIT came very close to violating ITAR, but the same claim could not be made if the issue was a software program which was export-controlled. - -- Mark =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= markm@voicenet.com | finger -l for PGP key 0xe3bf2169 http://www.voicenet.com/~markm/ | d61734f2800486ae6f79bfeb70f95348 "Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four.
