In September 1999 the US Government announced the relaxation of the export regulations on cryptographic software, and in December 1999 NAI obtained a worldwide export license for PGP. This means that it will probably not be necessary to scan and OCR future PGP versions, because the source code can be legally exported electronically. However, the PGPi project will still go on, focussing on development, porting, translation and localization rather than scanning. We are still devoted to giving you high-quality, free versions of PGP, including full source code.
