When I buy OpenBSD 2.4 from Computer Literacy Bookstore, San Jose the CD-ROM
comes with strong crypto apps that are integrated into the OS.  Computer
Literacy Bookstore imports the software from Canada and resells it in the
US; that is not illegal.

Why can't I buy the crypto version of SuSE Linux in international English
imported from Germany in a similar way?  Or, how about distributing the
English version from Canada instead of the US?

Bill Parker
