Time for DJB and the EFF to bring their old case back?

"On October 15, 2003, almost nine years after Bernstein first brought the case, the judge dismissed it and asked Bernstein to come back when the government made a "concrete threat"."
This sure sounds like a concrete threat.
- tptacek 12y agoIt needs to be a concrete threat to Daniel J. Bernstein.
- ultramancool 12y agoYeah, you're likely correct. I didn't catch this at first due to my immediate feeling of threat simply for having published a few tools which use high-level cryptography libraries.
- tptacek 12y agoWind River seems to have been dinged for completing commercial transactions with organizations that happened to be on the BIS export blacklist. You're not going to get fined for posting code to Github.
- ultramancool 12y agoBut Wind River is only guilty of exporting the same already public information which I may be and it's quite possible that anyone on that "BIS export blacklist" could feel free to obtain my code.
- tptacek 12y agoNo, I do not think that accurately captures what the USG is fining Wind River for.
