Felix Ungman felix@hu.se asks?
Will ViaCrypt consider exporting pgp? (well, I think I can guess the answer ;-) However, pgp is already widely used outside USA (at least as many as the US users, I suspect). It would be interesting to know what they're going to do about it. There exists no country boundaries in cyberspace, you know!
I would guess that they're not willing to put up with the export law nonsense required to export the product. (If they do, more power to them!) If the offensive export-prevention laws weren't there, and if other governments didn't have offensive import-harassment and crypto-harassment laws, then they'd probably decide whether they could make enough money by providing a supported product and pretty manuals to people who can get the net-version free, just as companies like Cygnus are providing commercial support for free GNUware. However, governments have not yet realized that they're obsolete, so you folks won't have that option. :-( Bill Stewart, wcs@anchor.att.com Physical-Address: North America, right hand coast, near the middle.
