Right now, we're using PGP command line 9.0. Does anybody know if GnuPG will work? It'd be a lot cheaper.

A:
I've never used McAfee eBusiness Server specifically, but the entire point of GnuPG was to provide Free Software that implemented the OpenPGP spec. Unless McAfee is for some hideously obnoxious reason mandating specific ciphers, there shouldn't be a problem.
Note that if some components are going to be checking a key with PGP, and some with GnuPG, you may want to doublecheck the interoperability FAQ question for GnuPG, as you may, in fact, have to limit your cipher and compression algorithms or signature versions. That FAQ is discussing a much older version of PGP, so it may actually no longer be an issue.

I ask the original question because PGP Command Line 9.0 is compatible with McAfee eBusiness server 4.01, but PGP Command Line 9.6 is NOT compatible. In theory, everything should work if everyone uses the same PGP spec, but in practice I've found that this isn't always the case.
