Legal stuff
Some countries have regulations on the use of cryptographics systems;
It may be unlawful to use GnuPG in these countries.
Please do not re-export (i.e. put it on a FTP server located in the U.S.)
this software from the U.S. The U.S. administration claims that
strong cryptograpy is a kind of amunition and forbids the export -
consider asking your Congressional representatives to change these
laws, next time you meet them.
And what about Wassenaar? Don't Panic:
The General Software Note
explicitly says that software in the "public domain"
is not controlled by this list. GPLed software counts for them as PD.
