The principal difference lies in their licences, PGP being a privately
owned programme (at the moment NAI, IIRC), GPG is under GNU Public
licence - meaning it is open source, freeware and can be changed by
anyone who wants to.

PGP was originally developed as open source freeware which could be
changed by anyone *but with the consent of its originator* Phil
Zimmermann.

Try to search the Net for PGP and Tom McCune, he once had a very good
overview site (a kind of portal long before people used this stupid
designation for web sites) on PGP.
