The legal warning should be more detailed. 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 details of it, but I know that you are allowed to bring the software along and install it on systems *for your own personal use* and not giving it to others.
