Hello MFPA, How far do the "rights" of the key holder go? You say that the key's originator should control the dissemination of the key to the keyserver, but what about from the keyserver? Isn't the keyserver unwittingly sharing the key without the originator's permission? And if the keyserver should control dissemination, what are the limits of the originator's "rights"? If the originator does have "rights" to control copying and sharing, are there any "fair use rights" for the person who has a copy of the public key? Should these "rights" of the originator be enforced by some governing body, or should they be merely courtesy or suggestion? -Paul -- You wouldn't send all of your mail written on the back of postcards would you?
