I'm not speaking for NAI here (nor am I ever when I post to this list),
but...

Your PGP key is your own. You can do whatever you want with it. Tattoo it
to your shoulder if you want. Werner's Word Doc analogy is a good one.

Also, you're not violating NAI's licensing when using patented algorithms
for commercial use; there are two issues here. NAI owns the software, not
the rights to RSA or IDEA. When you buy NAI's software, you get the legal
ability to use IDEA or RSA in the NAI product because NAI has licensed
them.
