Does anyone know how this will affect PGP's: security, commitment to no-GAK, Founder (P. Zimmerman), the continuation of the PGP product line?

I heard that McAfee's PCCrypto product will still be sold by NETA as a retail product, (are they considering incorperating the 2 together and just using PGP's team for R&D?)

Even more basic questions: Will NETA release source code? Will they continue to develop freeware versions of PGP? What conections does NETA have to S/MIME? What happens to licensing of things like PGPsdk and the freeware versions of PGP? Will PGP be seen as a "dead-end" product by potential new users. What will happen to Open-PGP email encryption standard?

This is not good.

What's the matter? Finding a free market economy monopolize right in front of your eyes just a tad uncomfortable?
