Fragment z ksiazki "PGP" Simsona Garfinkela (O'Reilly & Associates,
Inc.):
Is PGP Legal ?
PGP has had problems with both patent violations and U.S. expon
restrictions in the past. Now that new versions of the program exist,
how can you be sure that you are using PGP legally?
- Early versions of PGP could not be used in the United States without
violating patents on public key cryptography. It is now possible
to use PGP Version 2.6 and later versions for noncommercial
purposes in the United States, thanks to a license agreement I
describe later in this preface.
- If you wish to use PGP for commercial purposes within the United States,
you must purchase a license for the program from ViaCrypt. (Appendix A
describes how.)
- Any version of PGP can be used outside the United States without
infringing on public key cryptography patents. However, PGP cannot
be exponed without violating U.S. expon restrictions.
- Outside the United States, use PGP Version 2.6ui. This so-called
"unofficial intemational" version was developed in Europe from an
earlier version of PGP. It is readily available there,
interoperates with Version 2.6, and does not have the restrictions
on commercial use that the domestic versions of PGP have.
- Outside the United States, do not use Version 2.6 (or later
versions). Inside the United States, do not use Version 2.6ui. But
those inside the United States (using Version 2.6 and later
versions) and those outside the United States (using Version
2.6ui) can communicate freely with each other without violating
expon restrictions.
- Outside the United States, be sure to check with your own
country's authorities about the legalities of using encryption
programs. Some countries prohibit private citizens from using such
programs.
Moze to cos wyjasni :-) ?
