Thanks, I just read that one! Indeed, it's the only one that forthrightly
dealt with *my* big concern, which is, does this mean free software
can include crypto without concern? Answer: no.
(I should have realized the from the other articles, of course, but
didn't really grok the gummint-review requirement as limiting free
software. Mostly I was thinking about how the concern about
proprietary software being wilfully broken by agreement between
the vendor and the gummint to ensure back-door access would make
free-software, i.e. OS, products *that* much more attractive: it's
harder to hide bugs in source code, especially when anyone can read
it.)
