There are a lot of extremely sophisticated arguments of all sorts.  A
lot of it is to do with complicated legal arrangements that aren't
really all that believeable.  But, you have to think that I myself
might find myself in University or business premises and so I should
think about these things ?

On the technical side.  The PGP stuff is thought to be superior but
with the rate of development of GPG then it may not be long before the
Linux community may be able to forget about PGP altogether ?

Which leads back to the legal stuff again :-)  Have a look at.....
