It means that the US government would like to keep cryptography out of the
hands of its citizens and the only almost-legal way they have is to pretend
that they are worried about foreign terrorists.
Well, either that

No. The international version of pgp in

I don't know
As Garrick said, the code from PGP was scanned and taken out of the States
in hard print (therefore bypassing the bann on "electronic crypto code"
export). Thus, so far as PGP is concerned, pgp-us and pgp-i should be the
same (with the exception of the RSAREF issue, which I'm not sure what it

Quoting from the description of the "rsaref" package:

I think that it is still an export thing: the difference is that the
international version has weaker encryption, which is not covered by
the export laws (and is less secure: probably the which ever agency it

However, I'm English, so what would I know?

I believe downloading any of the `international' versions of a crypto based
program is illegal within

The US has no laws restricting the importation of crypto.

I think it means that they cannot be used in the U.S. since they include
some cryptographic code. There are some restriction laws on importing and
exporting crypto into/out of the U.S. (shouldn't this apply

No. It means the they cannot be distributed from sites in the US for legal
reasons. Non-us contains mostly cryptographic software that it is illegal
to export from the US (yes, I know this makes no sense)
It means that the server is not located in the US, excepting it
from US encryption laws.

No, it means that export restrictions prevent them from being made
available for download from a site in the USA. For example, there are
laws in
