Hal, Many thanks for posting those opinions. It doesn't look good at first glance. On the other hand, there are some differences with the present case. Here there is no question that the technical data on which PGP was based is already extremely widespread around the world, so there is a question about whether the form (algorithm description vs source code) makes a difference. And there's a question about whether it's enough to simply make something available for FTP within the US to get in trouble, and if so, how one reconciles this with the First Amendment. Phil
