Well, so far the feds haven't prosecuted "Jim Bidzos" for posting Crypto++ to usenet. Anyway, both versions have been on utopia.hacktic.nl for months.

I thought that it was determined to be a hoax. Someone "disguised" as Jim Bidzos posted it to USENET.

So what? Prosecute him anyhow; let HIM prove he's innocent.
