Glad to see it - however, I have a couple of minor queries about the licencing (skipping the bits about agreeing to forfeit rights explicitly granted by law - which obvously are worthless) :-

As it is almost impossible to compare two binaries from a modern compiler - would it be possible for this section to be amended to allow personal use of the self-compiled binary - obviously, without permission to redistribute. Also, review of code is seldom a solitary activity - I assume quoting sections of code is ok for the purposes of collaborative review, and if so, could this be explicitly stated in future licences? and where do we report anything we find to? the Security@ address? and as an aside - while I understand the main focus of your work being over public carrier (as that is the target market for your handheld devices), are there any future plans to include VoIP capability (which as more mobile devices become web-enabled would obviously be advantagious for long-distance telephony, and is common on pcs now) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
