There are 250 million people in the U.S., which constitutes under
1/20th of the Earth's population.
These statistics are somewhat misleading given that the vast majority
of users that are on the net are in the U. S. I suspect that the same
is true for computer users in general, but I'm much less certain.
I agree that this legal silliness is unfortunate, but I don't think
that it's especially terrible that Adam would like to be able to
advocate PGP use at work without putting himself at risk.
I think it's great that patches are coming out to bridge the gaps
between 2.3 and 2.6 from either direction. It's also nice that the
newer versions of PGP appear to have a propensity toward travel :-)
