Subject: Re: ITARs effects I certainly can't speak for Phil, but according to everything I have heard, and according to several articles that have been written about the events surrounding the release of PGP 1.0, Phil most definitely DID NOT place the PGP 1.0 software on any kind of ftp site.
(I believe that at that time, circa 1991, Phil did not even have any kind of ISP or university Internet access which would have even made this possible for him. In fact, I believe it was not until around 1993 that he had a stable e-mail account.)
I believe the first site to carry PGP 1.0 was Adelante BBS in Colorado where Phil was living at the time. I was a user of that site when 1.0 was put online and made publicaly available. I still have the Amiga disk those files were d/l'ed on. Somebody should ask Phil if he put v1.0 on any sites prior to Adelante.
