Uh, it wouldn't be released until the corporate entity ceased to exist. If there's something to be sold, then it hasn't ceased. A properly designed corporate "will" would deal with the issue of transfer of control of the escrowed key to the new entity. I'm wondering, though, if Dennis has any examples of software companies that have established a key escrow program. How do they publicize that fact, and how has it been structured? -- David W.
