Carl Ellison quotes RSADSI as writing:

>in the user manual.  The authors of pgp have had a copy of MailSafe
>and the user manual since 1987.

It seems there is a risk to purchasing RSADSI products.  If one does so and
then writes encryption software, the fact of the purchase can be used against
the purchaser.
