FYI, I hope it is not premature but people are starting to take advantage of the wonderful Patel ruling in the Bernstein v U.S. Department of Justice case. Cool! Loren From: "Jordan K.

I just received the 2.2.1 disk yesterday and it contains the DES stuff which has been missing on all previous disks I have received!

That's because it's now legal for us to export it. An S.F. district judge recently ruled that exporting encryption is legal, at least within her jurisdiction, and so our lawyer has OK'd our taking advantage of this fact [that we fall geographically within her sphere of influence] to export crypto. I have always *wanted* to do this, since shipping "crippled" CDs in order that I might export them was abhorent to me, and now I can. This also means that the unpacked CVS repository on SNAPshot CDs contain full sources for des, kerberos etc and so forth and you can actually _use_ the repository to check out a complete, unadulterated version of FreeBSD at any release version from 2.0 onwards. -- - Jordan Hubbard FreeBSD core team / Walnut Creek CDROM.
