I think it's more likely to mean that packages like gpg-rsa, pgp-i, rsaref, and rsaref2 may be able to move into non-US/main if their licences are otherwise DFSG-free (as the US government still has some restrictions on exporting cryptography). Happy day, though. -- Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
