'complete' source is released,
even to the point of them relying on one's honor,
to not bypass the 'licensing' requirements and activate the 'non-free'
features,
{if it is 'too busy'at pgp.com, you can get it from zedz:
ftp://ftp.zedz.net/pub/crypto/incoming/PGP800-S-W.zip}

a reasonable courtesy to contain any damage that the bug might cause
if published in the wild, before a chance is given to correct it

whatever anyone else can say about it,
{and there is what to say}
it is still the *easiest* gui encryption software to use,
and is now once again open source,
and can be an easy starting point for people who otherwise would not use
'any' encryption, and do not yet want to hear about manual option entries
or command lines
{until their tastes yearn for the many more things that can be done 
with gnupg, and then they eventually use gnupg}

also btw,
it now accepts the new secret key format, 

with Respect,

vedaal
