- Uh, why not?? I don't want to re-start the flame war, but as far as I
- understood, using PGP might be a petent infringement, because it is
- not licensed by PKP and importing it seems to be against ITAR.
-
- However, if you want to make RIPEM compatible with PGP, nothing
- prevents you to import the description of the formats of PGP's
- messages and to implement it using the code from the RSAREF library...
