GPL is a liscense openly used by many open source projects but over the years many organizations have made their own GPL liscenses. Infact when most org's say its GPL its not the orignal written GPL.

I'm curious also. I thought if the GPL was modified, then it is no longer the GPL.
Various Distributed Computing Programs have been trying to crack different encryption schemes for years. Almost all RSA Labs schemes have been cracked although PGP still stands to be the most impossible to crack. Dont get me wrong with a supercomputer like the one's in Japan and Washington layer after layer of encryption of the PGP technology could be broken down but they would still hit more layers but eventually would crack it. In 2001 the NSA had a white paper stating it found PGP to be one of the most secure encryption protocols available and that a supercomputer could take unknown amounts of crunching time to crack pgp.

I figure it would take Distributed.net's several thousand users and companies which run their software atleast 3 years to crack pgp but i dont think they could even do it within the next 10-20 years.

What modifications will be done to the GPL?
Here is the blueprint of the security engine:
CryptoIM.C uses the finest in cryptography, including an AES symmetric Rijndael cipher with not a 128, but a 256 bit symmetric key, public-key cryptography with 2048-4096 bit asymmetric keys, and SHA-256 message digest function plus has a backlayering of a 1024 bit pgp final security phase.

We have chosen to go with Gerry E. Williams OpenCrypt standard which he created will attending MIT he graduated in 1999 and since was offered a position as a security analyst at MIT's EECS Department. OpenCrypt was used as a standard in the development of CryptoIM a secure protocol leased by the creators of Kremlin Crypt.

So the following happens in all transactions:

Raw Data Input By User ==> Raw Data Encrypted With Private Keys Imbedded Into Server ==> Secure Data Transmitted To Server or Client is then unencrypted by public key imbedded into client and server and plain text or data is then filtered further.
