Not sure if it was just rumor or not, but I heard this happened as a
result of 9-11. Apparently the terrorists' were using the freeware
version of PGP to encrypt their communications with each other. I may be
wrong, but I'm sure that's what I heard. Maybe making it a commercial
version can not only generate revenue, but possibly help enforce import
and export laws on the software.
Regards,
John

Hi list,
This topic is not really pen-test specific but I feel it is very often
relevant and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else. The question is:
Whatever happened to the freeware version of PGP?? It seems that the
latest v9.0 is only offered as 'trial' from pgp.com. I searched
everywhere (pgpi.org mit's site etc) but noone has a freewere version
anymore (for windows).
Of course, if you insist you can find in the depths of the web copies of
pgp version 8, for free, and perfectly legal. And there is always GnuPG
so the situation is not desperate yet. I was just wondering if anyone
has any info on the topic ; has the app silently gone commercial?
Thanks
S.
