Are you sure about that? It was my impression that they are "viewable
source"; ie, Open Source but not Free Software (analogous, I suppose, to
the SCSL).
In fact, consider the previous method by which PGP was exported; I'm
sure most people know, so I won't go into it here. But unless they
published the book only for themselves and did not sell it to the
public, then it would seem that the source code is available. Perhaps
you're thinking of a license to *use* the source?
If I'm mistaken here, please correct me.
