OpenPGP.org and GnuPG

2003-03-19 04:18:57

Hello,

The web site www.openpgp.org has no link at all for GnuPG versions on his page download : http://www.openpgp.org/resources/downloads.shtml

The links given to download OpenPGP are the pgp.com, pgpi.com, or web.mit.edu/network/pgp links.

The name "GnuPG" or GPG appears only at the "Members" page.

I think it is not a good thing : GnuPG is the most famous free OpenPGP version and it must be here.

Last week, I had a discussion by e-mail with Philip Zimmermann, and I said him some people may think he is misappropriating the name "OpenPGP.org", and that he done this because he sells PGP(tm) www.pgp.com and FileCrypt www.veridis.com/openpgp/

Philip Zimmermann replied me that the "Download" page at the openpgp.org web site was not updated since his beginning (2 or 3 years ago, I think), then he said me in another e-mail that I was "insulting" him.

Unfortunately, he didn't changed the "Download" page at www.openpgp.org and GnuPG is still not there :-(

Do you think it is a good thing that GnuPG is not shown in the www.openpgp.org "Download" page ?

I see by doing a whois that the domain "openpgp.org" is owned by the "OpenPGP Research Group".

domain:         OPENPGP.ORG
owner-address:  OpenPGP Research Group
owner-address:  C/O Terje Elde
owner-address:  C/O Jan Pedersen
owner-address:  Granliveien 1
owner-address:  N-1406
owner-address:  Ski
owner-address:  Norway

Do you know if this "OpenPGP Research Group" part of the IETF-OpenPGP working group ?

Thanks,

pplf
