And lacking that, the author can always print it out on paper and physically mail it out of the country; this is specifically allowed by the new Commerce rules as I understand them. And who's to say that the overseas FTP copies weren't scanned from such a paper copy? :-)

At least one PGP site overseas did that - some German university scanned in a copy of the MIT Press publication of PGP source. The PGP 3.0 Pre-Alpha code is now available, on paper, from PGP Inc. Selling copies of PGP overseas, even if exported this way, might count as "providing a defense service", if that's still illegal now that crypto export laws have been moved to Commerce Dept. On the other hand, indemnifying people against copyright suits from your company _doesn't_ sound like it.... :-) # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts@ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp # (If this is a mailing list, please Cc: me on replies.
