Phil Zimmerman NEVER distributed PGP outside the United States. He did send it to a few domestics which did not respect his US-only header, but Zimmerman himself didn't do a single thing to export PGP, even though he did publish PGP domestically. The government thus had to eventually concede that it really didn't have a case against Zimmerman, who never exported PGP as defined by law. Cody Wilson is now fighting much the same battle, and doing so fairly successfully so far, by deliberately wrapping the Second Amendment up in the First Amendment and utilizing that to challenge the overreach of the State Department and ITAR. Here's to the wailing and gnashing of teeth of government.

Correction. Phil Zimmerman did not export his PGP source code in a book. Phil Zimmerman took PGP on a set of floppies and drove up the California coast, hitting as many BBSes as he could along the way, uploading it to those systems. […]

Ummm, uh, yeah. I think I'd already detailed that.

And your detailing isn't quite accurate, but I'm willing to let it go. Is it important for you have the credit? Then take it, every bit. Everyone, may I please have your attention: CathyinColor absolutely, completely, and totally deserves all credit.

And I deserve at least half-credit for misspelling his name. Sorry, Phil!
