Given the new export policies we expect to remove the export control associated with Libwww-SSL. However, since we are using MIT network services to provide these controls (as they do with PGP), we will rely upon the discretion of MIT network services and legal counsel to provide the official all clear before removing the access control. We need to make sure we have the policy down right -- for instance, the treatment of binaries may differ. Consequently, I hope within the month Libwww-SSL source will be "officially" globally accessible. _________________________________________________________ Joseph Reagle Jr. Policy Analyst mailto:reagle@w3.org XML-Signature Co-Chair http://www.w3.org/People/Reagle/
