After reading the DEC statement, I see a "simple" way around it: (wait a minute while I open my mouth wide enough for my foot ;-) public domain can't be had unless it printed, it seems? Why doesn't someone start a mag. (good use for that Mac on your desk and the laserwriter down the hall) that is non-profit and call it "DES hackers!". Register yourself with yourself as a non-profit org (easy to do), then we just print the sources for the "public domain" DES in it and sell it for cost to whoever wants it. It's in print now, generally available, etc. so it's now legally in the public domain, so the other set of rules apply, etc, etc,... --ritchey ruff ruffwork@cs.orst.edu -or- ...!hp-pcd!orstcs!ruffwork
