- Uh, well, no. PGP is perfectly legal. It is distributed from an
- overseas company, now, anyway, and the patents with RSA have been worked
- out. Remember, there is *absolutely nothing* wrong with using PGP in the
- USA; only perhaps in exporting it. Ardi has nothing to worry about using
- it: pgp is perfectly legal for US companies to use! And ardi certainly
- wouldn't be in the position of exporting it: it would just be using it to
- decrypt credit card info. Today, PGP is perfectly legal for overseas
- use, as well, as it is currently distributed from outside the USA, and
- *imported* rather than the other way around. I'd hate for adi to be
- scared away from using PGP. It is currently the *only* product that can
- relaly provide ardi with the credit card security it'll need for
- electronic commerce. The secure HTTP implementations are running into
- legal trouble as well, and they're quite expensive.
