Re: OpenPGP

That's why the PGP source was published as a book.

Software was covered under ITAR, but the printed word was protected speech under the first amendment.

I'm not confident such loopholes still exist, but most of the best cryptography is developed internationally these days, and a significant proportion of it is developed entirely outside the USA, so ITAR wouldn't apply.
