| subject: | Question: concerning GPG and Files |
SR>>> I am curious. I use GPG. WinPT and others every day and SR>>> therefore download them. What is the chance of being able to SR>>> hatch out the source for GGP and/or binaries, these are SR>>> readilyn available on the net and as far as I can see, are not SR>>> subject to any restrictions, export wise ml>> GPG is a PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) clone, right? that public key ml>> cryptography stuff that you can encrypt messages and stuff with? ml>> i'm not sure how far the crypto regulation relaxation went... SR> See my last to janis, the source is freely available. from where? is it physically located in the USofA or somewhere outside those boundaries? that's what i was looking at... if GPG were to be hatched and travel into the USofA, it may be against the law for a USofA system to further distribute it to locations outside the USofA or to even allow it to be available for download from the web, ftp and telnet (as my site does all files except beta area stuff it receives via file distribution) SR> Of course the relaxation of rules is a query that I was SR> concerned about. I don't think it would restrict winpt which is SR> a front end only. agreed there... so the primary concern is if GPG source or binary can be distributed from within the USofA to locations outside the USofA... what clinton did, allows that, IIUC... however, this homeland security mess may override that in some way ;-( )\/(ark* Origin: (1:3634/12) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 3634/12 106/2000 633/267 |
