It gets better, they not only printed it out but also scanned it!

Cryptography software was subject to export-control at the time... so they printed it out, and scanned it in Europe to create a 'clean' version of the software for use abroad (PGPi ). They continued to do this for new releases of PGP until the export controls were released.

Must have made for a nasty devops relationship...
