Re: Open AFS announcement (fwd)

[Lyle Seaman]

There's a story on IBM's web site about this.

http://www-4.ibm.com/software/developer/library/os-afs.html?dwzone=opensource

It contains a few pieces of interesting new information like:

" IBM is legally bound, for example, to keep Dev (the encryption technology) closed,
because the government will not allow this technology to be shipped out to certain
countries. "

It might have been an appropriate place to mention how much AFS has itself benefited 
from
open-source tools and components, and that this is sort of closing the loop, but hey.
