Problems with PGP Finland site?

Never mind. Sorry.

It looks like http://www.pgpi.com/ is still open for business, so paranoia
is unwarranted.

Though I wonder for how long Network Associates will continue to publish
source code books and encourage their wide distribution around the world?

Or how long source code will be available at all.

Or how long the freeware version will be available.

I don't know about source code, but remember that the McAfee side of NA
has been letting people use their virus checker as freeware for years
for noncommercial use.

The more interesting problems are how fast will the PGP staff leave
after the merger, depending on what happens to their salaries, stock, etc.,
and how dead the Key Recovery Alliance support in NA is.
Rumors I've heard are that the staff will lose a lot of people,
but on the other hand the KRAP support is pretty dead.

The underlined parts are a contradiction, amusingly enough.

A freeware version will always be available.  It just might not come 
from NA.
