- RSA has corrected their (I think) unfortunate error, though several
- have pointed out to me that MIT distributes KERBEROS, which contains
- DES, in just the same way.
-
- As to "unambiguously moral or arrogantly dogmatic" I confess to
- the first. Moral relativism, in my view, is the source of much
- of the mischief in the world. As for the corruption of the
- educational system by the relativists earlier in this century,
- words fail me.
