_Using_ it doesn't require any license from the US at all,
though perhaps the local government may have some rule or other.
The problem is getting it there. You need a license to export useful crypto,
but there are deals that can be made; check out PGP's web pages.
Alternatively, you can just use a non-US product, like the
Stronghold web server sold by C2, or European-scanned versions of PGP,
which you can download from your favorite archives.
Thanks!
