-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Will Kenney posted: Curve Encrypt 1.0, IDEA encryption for the Macintosh is now available for ftp from ripem.msu.edu, directory: ... Distribution: Curve Encrypt (c)1994 Curve Software. Permission granted for distribution within the United States only. It's fine with me if you make the software available by giving it to your friends, putting it on _local_ BBS's, taping floppies to stalls in the men's room, things like that. But don't export the software, and don't make it available on places like international anonymous ftp sites. And please make sure that the people you give the software to understand the export restrictions. This applies the application and the source and anything that _contains_ Curve Software copyrighted source. Is this sufficiently clear to keep me from getting Swanked? You need have no concern about Swank himself since he is not interested in Macintosh software. It should protect you from being "Swanked" (thank you for making a verb out of my name; a rare honor) by others -if- you independently wrote all the code. But if you copied, for example, the IDEA code from a copylefted product like PGP or SecureDrive then the copyleft applies to your entire product; at least that's my understanding. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a iQCVAgUBLUWy3N4nNf3ah8DHAQGBvwP/XMRhqOr8OSOj5IHWMdRD0k8yi9bXDU+T 3oI3sSmshLSl3VRj9FRX4c6ZqUGFt6T10PWxN5Hc2/prkdx6Cvn2XnY9rejZ7F+2 aEJ2lUtXnAASm07BS7mCPzSZyyYR2THVLQVZapj5YSY+mybhYX5fRpOrOcUxwNH5 ZS7MB1gLOcU= =inso -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- edgar@spectrx.saigon.com (Edgar W.
