- So what do you think this Canadian is most likely to do: find
- some way to get an account on a distribution system and
- hostage my first-born to get a copy of an inferior product, or
- just go on using PGP?
-
- BTW: The RSAREF license says it is only available to USA
- citizens so, in spite of the US/Canada codicil to COCOM, it
- appears RSA is not exportable to Canada. OTOH, we get
- Scientific American, so we can only be grateful to R, S and A
- for releasing this idea to the public domain. I wonder if
- the agreement prevents us from exporting what the USA won't
- let us import?
-
- Cheers,
