Okay, that is something different. I was solely speaking of a tempest resistant viewer - the kind of thing PGP 6 named "secure viewer(/ing mode)". > Software that was distributed under GPL: pgp 2.3 and 2.3a. And pleaase don't That's right. However these are AFAIK the only versions under the GPL without restrictions. The widely used 2.6* versions are under a non free license diasllowing to change certain parts of the software or to distribute only parts of it. > let the discussion slip in legalese tetrapiloctomisation. http://fsfeurope.org/documents/whyfs.html > My point exactly, excapt that secure viewer needs not to be defined in the > protocol RFC. In fact there used to be a long discussion whether to keep the for-your-eyes-only feature in OpenPGP or to drop it. It does not belong into the standard as OpenPGP defines a message format and not an application.
