- Even if this is the case, that would imply (in my layman's understanding)
- that export of RIPEM would be legal, which would make it possible for those
- both inside and outside the US and Canada to use it, and make it a
- practical cross-border public-key encryption system.
-
- (Of course, people may prefer PGP's keyring handling; Mark will probably
- merge some of the more-requested features into RIPEM at some point.)
