Sorry, this has nothing to do with Netscape's position on GAK: Jim Clark writes (via Jeff Weinstein):
Until recently, France did not even allow us to sell products with 40-bit keys, much less 128-bit keys.
I'm curious about this. Were Chirac et compagnie simply dragging their feet on granting a license, have they made an actual policy change, or did they realize they could do what Damien did ? It would be interesting to see more information on this development. (There's a paranoid conspiracy theory I could add to the pile here, but I don't believe it and we seem to be knee-deep in them at the moment....) -Futplex <futplex@pseudonym.com> Let's wait and see
