 Gnu Privacy Guard is an Open Source PGP replacement.

 I have not examined interoperability with older versions of PGP though.
 (I will be doing that soon though.)

The short version is this: GPG will work more-or-less transparently with

It won't play nicely with PGP 2.6.x (or, AFAIK, any older version).
