  Key words here "industrialized nation" --- huge growth in use of OpenSource
operating systems occurs in so the so called "third world". Does NetBSD want
a part of this? Or should we just let them use the Penguin?

  Show me someone on the list who is not US based who is complaining about
having the *source* code available.

    Thor> You should not have imported IDEA into the tree.  Regardless of how

  Since I am simply not interested in this debate anymore, I concede:

netbsd-[crypto-intl/dist/openssl/crypto] mcr 5 %rm -rf idea

  done. I have also removed md5 and sha1 since they are in libc.

  What else should I remove? From comments on the list, I take it that
rc2, rc4, rc5, rsa has to go. Anything else?

netbsd-[crypto-intl/dist/openssl/crypto] mcr 6 %ls -l
