Ah, so the call is for folks in Denmark to post the various pieces of currently available software then, not everyone on the planet as it appears.
It is not just about Denmark. The Wassenaar arrangement has been signed by 33 countries, including the US, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Norway and others. Up to now, 30 of these states have allowed to export mass market and public domain crypto software without a license. Only the US, France and NZ did not have the "General Software Note". The US has exercised extreme pressure at the Wassenaar conference (as one German government official writes) and has managed to get the General Software Note modified. Now the states that have signed the arrangement will have to regulate the export of strong cryptography. There are other places such as Brazil, Iceland, South Africa, India, and even Singapore which do not have any export restrictions. However, must crypto software that is distributed on the Internet right now is distributed under General Software Note. John Gilmore writes: "I call for volunteers in each country, at each university or crypto-aware organization, to download crypto tools while they can still be exported from where they are, and then to offer them for export from your own site and your own country as long as it's legal." ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Which is exactly what is needed in this situation.
RSAREF is not quite what he is asking folks to do now is it.
RSAREF is what he has determined he can legally export from the US. So, yes, he is doing what he also asks others to do.
Let me ask you this Ulf, when is YOUR site going up?
My university is already distributing SSLeay, PGP, ssh, cfs and other cypto tools. As long as they continue to do so, I won't make my mirror available on the web, but my own crypto site is going up later this week with another piece of strong crypto software.
Your address implies you're in Denmark.
Almost. :)
What are you going to do for YOUR liberty today? Has Gilmore agreed to help fund YOUR fight of the change in your courts?
Today I am going to create the distribution of the software I have been working on in the past months, have the server set up and, if all goes well, upload the file. I have made a few thousand dollars on developing crypto software and I am ready to use much of that money to defend my right to distribute the results of my work on the web. I haven't asked John or anybody else to help me.
