>Can the government jail me for publishing source code it deems "obscene"?
It's an interesting idea, but obscenity is a tricky one to pin down.. IIRC it's generally something that 'depraves and corrupts', and of course one man's obscene is another man's Art..
What would be obscene code and not already fall in the areas of law that already deal with illegality of code, i think that's one question to ask, in order to answer your question.
