US Lets Professor Put Encryption on Internet
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will allow a computer scientist to put instructions for writing a powerful
computer data-scrambling program on his Web site, but his high-profile lawsuit challenging U.S. export restrictions on
encryption may continue, his lawyer said on Thursday.
President Clinton in January dramatically liberalized once-strict U.S. export limits on encryption programs, which scramble
information and render it unreadable without a password or software ``key.'' The changes recognized that encryption, used in
everything from Web browsing software to cellular telephones, has become essential for securing electronic commerce and
global communications.
The move also followed a May 6, 1999 decision by a U.S. Appeals Court panel that the old rules barring University of Illinois
professor Daniel Bernstein from posting instructions for his ``Snuffle'' program on the Internet were an unconstitutional
violation of the scientist's freedom of speech.
In a private advisory letter sent last week, the U.S. Commerce Department confirmed that the new encryption export policy
permitted Bernstein to post instructions, called source code, for his program on the Internet (http://cr.yp.to/crypto.html) for all
to see. Any other computer programmer could easily compile the source code into a functioning program.
``In light of the changes in licensing and review requirements for publicly available source code, the new regulations do not
interfere with his planned activities as you have described them,'' the Commerce Department letter said in response to a letter
from Bernstein's lawyer.
Under the old rules, Bernstein had to obtain an export license for each person who wanted to view his Web site from outside
the United States -- an impossible task given the Net's global reach.
But the new rules allow anyone to post encryption source code on the Internet as long as they also send a copy to the
government and do not charge royalties for use of the code.
``We are still considering our options,'' said Cindy Cohn, Bernstein's lawyer. Cohn said the Commerce Department letter
failed to clear up some questions about the new rules.
The department did make clear that a Web site which merely picked up code posted by someone else, a practice known as
mirroring, would not be held responsible for following the export rules. And Bernstein or others would not have to notify the
government again each time they posted bug fixes or updates.
That pleased privacy advocates and Internet groups that have been pushing the administration to relax encryption export limits
for years.
``The open question after the new regulations appeared was whether there was going to be a real spirit of liberalization,'' said
David Sobel, general counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center. ``This implies that might be the case and that's very
encouraging.''
The new rules on source code should aid software developers in the growing ``open source'' movement, including
programmers using the Linux operating system. Such developers circulate their source code freely over the Internet, as
opposed to major software vendors like Microsoft that keep their code secret.
Bernstein's lawsuit came about because under the old rules, a book containing computer source code could be shipped out of
the United States without restriction but the same source code posted on the Internet or put on a floppy disk could not be
''exported'' without a license.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals last year decided two to one that the old rules violated the
First Amendment by restricting Bernstein's speech. But in January, the full court asked the panel to reconsider the ruling in light
of the new Clinton policy.

I want a internet site that reports news as vigorously as CNN, but doesn't censor, and reports on everything, unbiased. It should be a non-profit organization, that uses all income from its site to pay the journalists. Any profits would be used to pay all bills. Whoa. Now I'm dreamin. But it would be damn cool.
