Quite possibly they don't, and I'm not presuming to talk for John. But the vague thoughts that crossed my mine were the issues that allowed Phil Zimmerman to publish PGP source code in book form and avoid conviction for munitions export without a licence. Perhaps this is no longer an issue in the US following Bernstein vs. United States and Junger vs. Daley. Just thinking aloud, really. I will observe that far more than 20 minutes of combined person-minutes have been consumed by this thread already, and the approach of minimum collective effort is still "scrape the code from the RFC yourself and compile it".
