Dutch government says no to backdoors, slides $540k to OpenSSL

The Dutch government has formally opposed the introduction of backdoors in encryption products.A government position paper, published by the Ministry of Security and Justice on Monday and signed by the security and business ministers, concludes that "the government believes that it is currently not appropriate to adopt restrictive legal measures against the development, availability and use of encryption within the Netherlands."The conclusion comes at the end of a five-page run-through of the arguments for greater encryption and the counter-arguments for allowing the authorities access to the information.The word "currently" worries me, but this is good news.
