PGP 2.3a and earlier were not American software -- they were written and produced overseas and were IMPORTED into the U.S.
They infringe on no patents or copyrights when used overseas.
Well, I have lots of correspondants overseas, using perfectly legal software. They cannot legally use PGP 2.6 -- it isn't exportable.
Therefore, this idiocy will act to cut me off from my overseas correspondants. I will not be able to use the current version of PGP and still communicate with them. I will therefore be forced to use older versions -- probably repeatedly patched versions of 2.5.
Perhaps you should consider adopting the more internation and just as secure Clipper system. This will eliminate all your hastles and it's freely exportable!
