I just got a call from a criminal investigator from the US Customs in San Jose. She wants to fly out here to Colorado next Thursday to ask me how PGP got out of the USA. I told her I didn't export it, but software published on domestic Internet sites can leak overseas. She said I was not legally obligated to answer her questions, but that she would like to come here and ask me questions about the program, and any other information I wanted to provide on how it got exported. She had a copy of the PGP 2.0 User's Guide (and, I presume, the software).
I thought this bit of news would be of general interest to PGPeople.
