Since before the release of woody, DFSG-free cryptographic software has been legal to distribute from the main archive in the US, so most packages that used to be in non-US have migrated there. The only ones left are those in contrib or non-free, those with unresolved licensing problems, those whose maintainers haven't been paying attention, or both. > So what is the difference? Which version to use? There are no name clashes between main and non-US as far as I know, so this question should never arise.
