A while back you mentioned that you have the source to BSD, etc., over there
at the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy. Tell me, do I just not understand
the technology protection rules in the U.S., or isn't Unix source barred from
the USSR? I suppose you also have source to the DES encryption algorithm?
We're not even allowed to ship the C library with the DES algorithm to Europe,
so I can hardly believe you are allowed to have the source! Enlighten me.
