What is the reason for excluding above packages from the English CDs?
Cryptography restrictions.

1. By whom? I was not aware that PGP, for instance, was subject to the
US RSA-type restrictions. So who is imposing this?
2. Does this mean, for instance, that the German edition will not be available
at all in "English" countries? Otherwise, what is to stop people who want
PGP etc from getting the German edition (as well as, if not instead of,
the English one)?
As it stands, this looks bizarre. No doubt, Lenz, there *are* good reasons;
we puzzled S.u.S.E. fans would, however, welcome a fuller explanation of what
they are.
With thanks, and best wishes,
Ted.
