    	   Is anybody else looking to get an export licence?
    
    I think it is probably too early for most people to comment, any takers
    out there...
    
The OSF DCE which includes a version of the MIT Athena Kerberos V5 has been
modified for export.  This version of the code qualifies for export under
Commerce Department regulations.  At this time (not quite version 1.0 yet)
binary versions of the DCE do not include the MIT API - access to Kerberos is
provided in the authenticated RPC facility.  The source code version of the DCE
includes the Kerberos sources (minus the encryption code in the international
edition).  We are working on making the binary version include most of the MIT
API as well - excluding those entry points that could be used to turn the code
into an encryption engine.
