It this how others read it? "Compiling Without a License - Punishable By Law" Slight rearrangement of elements below, to make the case.

Where "interactive digital device" is defined by: >(3) Interactive digital device -- The term "interactive digital device" >means "any machine, device, product, software, or technology, whether or not >included with or as part of some other machine, device, product, software, >or technology, that is designed, marketed or used for the primary purpose >of, and that is capable of, storing, retrieving, processing, performing, >transmitting, receiving, or copying information in digital form." And "certified security technology" is defined by: >(1) Certified security technology -- The term "certified security >technology" means a security technology certified by the Secretary of >Commerce under section 105. Thus, unless and until I get my lousy "hex-dump" utility (interactive digital device) to utilize "a security technology certified by the Secretary of Commerce" (certified security technology), I will be in violation of federal law if and when I "offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in" this simple utility. ____tony____ Tony Bartoletti 925-422-3881 <azb@llnl.gov> Information Operations, Warfare and Assurance Center Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, CA 94551-9900 ------------------------ Yahoo!
