\S{faq-ssh2-keyfmt}{Question} Does PuTTY support reading OpenSSH or
\cw{ssh.com} SSH-2 private key files?
-PuTTY doesn't support this natively, but as of 0.53
+PuTTY doesn't support this natively (see
+\W{http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/key-formats-natively.html}{the wishlist entry}
+for reasons why not), but as of 0.53
PuTTYgen can convert both OpenSSH and \cw{ssh.com} private key
files into PuTTY's format.
\S{faq-wince}{Question} Will there be a port to Windows CE or PocketPC?
-It's currently being worked on, but it's only in its early stages yet,
-and certainly isn't yet useful. PuTTY on portable devices would
-clearly be a useful thing, so in the long term I hope it can be
-brought up to release quality.
+We have done some work on such a port, but it only reached an early
+stage, and certainly not a useful one. It's no longer being actively
+worked on.
-There's also a third-party port at
-\W{http://pocketputty.duxy.net/}\c{http://pocketputty.duxy.net/}.
+However, there's a third-party port at

\S{faq-permission}{Question} Can I have permission to put PuTTY on a
cover disk / distribute it with other software / etc?
-Yes. You need not bother asking us explicitly for permission. You
-already have permission. Redistribution of the unmodified PuTTY
-binary in this way is entirely permitted by our licence (see
-\k{licence}), and you are welcome to do it as much as you like.
+Yes. For most things, you need not bother asking us explicitly for
+permission; our licence already grants you permission.
-If you are distributing PuTTY within your own organisation, or for
-use with your own product, then we recommend (but do not insist)
-that you offer your own first-line technical support, to answer
-questions directly relating to the interaction of PuTTY with your
-particular environment. If your users mail us directly, we won't be
-able to give them very much help about things specific to your own
-setup.
+See \k{feedback-permission} for more details.
\S{faq-indemnity}{Question} Can you sign an agreement indemnifying
us against security problems in PuTTY?
would switch to the latter. Therefore, it would be pretty stupid of
us to try it.)
+\S{faq-export-cert}{Question} Can you provide us with export control
+information / FIPS certification for PuTTY?
+
+Some people have asked us for an Export Control Classification Number
+(ECCN) for PuTTY. We don't know whether we have one, and as a team of
+free software developers based in the UK we don't have the time,
+money, or effort to deal with US bureaucracy to investigate any
+further. We believe that PuTTY falls under 5D002 on the US Commerce
+Control List, but that shouldn't be taken as definitive. If you need
+to know more you should seek professional legal advice. The same
+applies to any other country's legal requirements and restrictions.
+
+Similarly, some people have asked us for FIPS certification of the
+PuTTY tools. Unless someone else is prepared to do the necessary work
+and pay any costs, we can't provide this.
