But Phil, that really isn't a fair comparison. The complexities of the
examples you cite, differ greatly, and it's the very nature of the
complexity of PGP Code that brings the value of Open Source into question.
I must admit though, that I'm fence-sitting on this issue, and not taking
a stand as I earlier alluded to. I don't have enough information, or
experience, to harbour a viewpoint, one way or the other.
Don't you wonder though... why the US Government suddenly lifted the
export ban on PGP? Kind of makes you question whether or not the NSA knows
something about their ability re. PGP, that we don't.
