Hi all,

I've got bad news.

As an individual living in France it seems that I'm
not allowed to 
"expor=
t" a software that uses encryption. Not without a
special Governement 
auth=
orisation that can take weeks (the software has to be
evaluated, 
approved =
and son on...).
Seems that I'm only allowed to use 128 bits encryption
(the limit) for 
my=
 personnal and private use only.

FYI, GnuPG and OpenSLL or officialy allowed to be 
used/imported/exported =
in France only since mid-August 2002 !

So people planning to implement/use encryption in VNC
(or others Free 
pro=
ject) should first be very carefull with the
legislation of their 
countrie=
s regarding encryption.

As a consequence, I must cancel the release of eSVNC
1.1.2 with 
built-in =
encryption until I've
got more informations.

Maybe I will let the source code "encryption ready"
but without the 
TwoFi=
sh and MD5 algos
sources. This way someone allowed could easely release
an encrypted 
versi=
on.

I'm currently emailing to people in France that could
help me on this 
sub=
ject.
But there's good chance that the built-in encryption
in eSVNC is 
borndead=
.

Anyway, I will continue my developpement effort on new
features for 
eSVNC=
 and
a release should occur soon.

And who knows, maybe there's specific permissive laws
for OpenSource  
sof=
twares with encryption  =3F
