FWIW, if I remember correctly from reading some of the PGP FAQs, it would
be legal for a US citizen to install the software on a machine outside of
the US as there are personal use exclusions.  I'm not exactly sure of the

and install it on systems *for your own personal use* and not giving it to
others.
