I've admitted before I program as well as a carp. (No, not Mr. Carp)

I don't think that e.g., a stealth PGP would demand much of a fee, or
that such a fee would make many of the people involved in the various\
intellectual rights of the program happy.
I might add that I don't want the software for myself, I want it for the
effect it will have on potential legislation/enforcement.
If some other 'punks want to get together and fund such projects, I will
participate. However, putting the burden of financing this venture
(which will have no immediate economic return, as I will support no
venture which does not result in fully public software) entirely on my
shoulders just because I happen to believe it will soon be necessary to
maintain any strong crypto ability, is unrealistic, and I believe you
know it.

I'm working on 3, I don't believe it exists.

Cute, but that's about all.
